Birthplace-less bio

According to a press release put out by the NFL which included a short bio of the four players, it was after attending a Swarco Raiders football game that the football bug bit Pircher. The Swarco Raiders are an American football team based in Innsbruck, Austria. Pircher was motivated to try out for the same team that introduced him to the game of football. He tested out other positions – tight end and defensive end- before settling on the offensive line.

During the 2019 season, Pircher was named the starting right tackle for the Swarco Raiders and also played on the Italian National Team, nicknamed the Blue Team. The team has been mildly successful, having won the European (American football) championship twice, and been runner up three times.

Pircher has since moved on to play for the Hildesheim Invaders in Germany, where he balances (juggles?) playing football and attending school.

The Hildesheim Invaders are an American football team (from Hildesheim, Germany, natch) that plays in what is known as the German Football League.

The club’s greatest success has been its promotion to the American football Bundesliga (which is really confusing because that is what the German professional soccer league is called, the Bundesliga), now the German Football League, or GFL. The team has been around since 1983.
