“Dre Stays the Dogs’ Top Dog”

Sometimes things just click. When a quarterback who can literally put a game on his shoulders decides to stay with a team that’s on the rise — that’s not just another contract extension. That’s a statement.

The Pforzheim Wilddogs just made it official: Drequan “Dre” Harris will continue to lead their offense through the 2026 German Football League (GFL) season.
That means one thing for Pforzheim fans — stability, excitement, and more highlight reels incoming.

For anyone new to the name, here’s the quick rundown:

• College background: Harris played quarterback at Newberry College (Division II, USA), where he stood out for his dual-threat abilities.

• Experience in Europe: Before joining the Wilddogs, he already had experience in the GFL — including time with the Regensburg Phoenix.

• Instant impact: He made a loud entrance in Pforzheim — dropping a 79-yard bomb in the season opener against the Allgäu Comets.

• Playoff performer: Against the Dresden Monarchs, Harris led a gutsy comeback effort, scoring both through the air and on the ground.

• The Dual-Threat factor: When no receiver is open, Harris doesn’t panic — he takes off. His mobility gives the Wilddogs’ offense a serious edge.

In short: Harris isn’t just a passer. He’s a playmaker, a leader, and the kind of quarterback you build a team around.

This isn’t just a routine “we like our guy” move — it’s strategic.

• Consistency in the most critical position: The quarterback is the brain of the offense. Keeping Harris means the Wilddogs don’t have to start from scratch each season.

• A message to rivals and fans: Pforzheim isn’t just happy to compete — they’re planning to contend.

• Growth potential: With a year (and system) under his belt, Harris can focus less on learning and more on mastering.

• Team magnetism: Let’s be honest — talented quarterbacks attract talent. Players want to line up with someone who can win games.

• Boom! 79 yards to glory: That opening bomb vs. the Comets set the tone for the season.

• Playoff fightback vs. Dresden: Even when down, Harris rallied his squad — almost turning a lost cause into a thriller.

• Pink Bowl overtime drama: Against the mighty Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns, Harris helped push the game to an overtime nail-biter.

• Solid under pressure: Against defensive powerhouses like Saarland, he stayed composed — throwing for 128 yards and 2 TDs in a close battle.

It’s clear: with Harris under center, the Wilddogs weren’t just “in the mix” — they were making noise in the GFL.

What’s next for Dre and the Dogs?

• Defensive adjustments incoming: Teams will now scheme heavily against Harris. Expect tighter coverage and more blitz pressure.

• Durability matters: A dual-threat QB takes hits — having a reliable backup will be key.

• Fine-tuning the offense: Expect more advanced play designs and chemistry with receivers.

• Supporting cast: Harris can’t do it alone — protection from the O-line and consistent receivers will make or break 2026.

With this signing, the Wilddogs just secured more than a quarterback — they locked in a leader, a spark, and a showman.
Pforzheim fans, get ready for another season of fireworks — Dre’s staying home.
