(2014: 5-5)

The Torino Giaguari have undergone some turmoil leading into the 2015 season. Losing Notre Dame defensive back Chris Salvi was a blow as he was one of the best players in Italy in 2014.

But the club is confident.

They have signed LSU running back R.J. Jackson, who was the top running back in Finland in 2014.

On defense, defensive back Kurtis Ovesen (Marshall: NCAA Div. I) is a true ball-hawk and is playing his first season in Europe.
