Magnus Møller (born 28 March 2003) is a Danish American football offensive tackle. Magnus is currently playing college football at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is the youngest European to have received an American Football college scholarship, having received his first offer at the age of 15 from Towson University.[1]
Early life
Magnus grew up in Vejle, Denmark & before switching to American football he practiced taekwondo; becoming the youngest in Denmark to get a youth black belt at the time. Prompted by elder brother Peter Møller [2], whom also played the sport, Magnus joined the Triangle Razorbacks of the Danish American Football Federation beginning on their Under 12 team. Due to his size & talent, Magnus was progressively moved up to the next age-group earlier, consistently gaining dispensation to play at a higher level, & ending his Danish football career playing for the club's Senior Elite team although he was technically still an Under 19 player.
Danish National Team
Prompted by his coaches at Triangle Razorbacks, Magnus first attended training camps for the Danish Under 17 National Team at the age of 14 [3] but due to injury Magnus' first games for the national team were at the 2019 IFAF U19 European Championships held in Bologna, Italy [4]. In 2021, at the U19 Nordic Championship held in Helsingør, Denmark, Magnus was named Speaking Captain.
College Offers
At the age of 15 received Magnus his first Division 1 college scholarhip offer from Towson University. Magnus later received offers from: Fordham University, University of Massachusetts, University of Fresno State, Brown University, Harvard University, Dartmouth University, Eastern Michigan University, University of Cincinnati, University of Central Michigan, University of Louisville, & the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign [5] [6]. Magnus made an official visit to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the end of November 2021 [7] where he was recruited by Head Coach Bret Bielema & Offensive Line Coach Bart Miller. Magnus committed to Illinois on the 29th November, & signed his Letter of Intent on the 15th December 2021.
