🇦🇹 OL Josef Kreuzberger has received an offer from the University of Mary.

The 6’5”, 280-lb offensive lineman has built an impressive résumé in Austria with the Graz Giants, while also establishing himself at the international level as a starter for the Austrian U19 National Team.

In 2025, Josef helped Austria become U19 European Champions, and his development earned him selection into Austria’s Heeressport elite athlete program, allowing him to train and develop as a full-time performance athlete during 2026.

This year, Josef joined the PPI DreamChasers Tour, putting himself in front of U.S. college programs and continuing the process of turning his European football background into college opportunities in the United States.

That process has now produced another result with an offer from University of Mary, an NCAA Division II program competing in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

Another international prospect creating a U.S. college football opportunity through the PPI pathway.

Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian came into camp expecting the former Wake Forest tackle to bring high-level pass protection.

What he has seen has been even more encouraging.

At 6’6”, 317 lbs, the PPI Alumni has developed through multiple levels of college football - playing at Temple, starting all 13 games for Wake Forest in 2025, and now competing at Texas after transferring to Austin this spring.

During his season at Wake Forest, Melvin established himself as one of the strongest pass protectors on the roster, posting the team’s highest pass-blocking grade according to PFF.

PPI has followed Melvin throughout his college career, recognizing him as a PPI Player of the Week at Wake Forest and later as the PPI Alumni Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Now he is competing in the SEC and earning recognition from one of the top programs in college football for what he is putting on film in both the run and pass game.
