Built by Football. Forged Internationally. Proven by Championships.
From Oviedo, Florida, to elite competition across Europe, Dylan Moghaddam brings a championship résumé, professional mindset, and global football experience to the American Raiders as Co-Owner and a leader in Special Teams. His journey through the sport reads like a roadmap of what it means to chase greatness at every level.
The Journey
Dylan began his football journey at Oviedo High School, competing as a kicker and athlete while developing the discipline, consistency, and mental toughness demanded of specialists. He continued his career at College of San Mateo and later Bethune-Cookman University, competing at the Division I level and refining his craft against top-tier talent.
On the international stage, Dylan took his game overseas, playing professionally in Europe with the Dresden Monarchs, one of Germany’s premier American football organizations. His time competing abroad sharpened his understanding of field position, situational football, and game-changing moments — the foundation of elite special teams play. Not many players can say they’ve competed professionally on two continents. Dylan can.
A World Champion
Dylan is a championship-winning athlete with USA Football International, earning multiple titles and representing American football globally. In 2025, he reached the pinnacle of international amateur competition by winning a Gold Medal in Greece at the Amateur Olympics, standing atop the podium as a world champion. That experience — the weight of the medal, the pride of the flag, the brotherhood of competition — is exactly what the American Raiders are built to deliver.
The Role
As Co-Owner and Special Teams leader, Dylan is responsible for:
- Overseeing all special teams phases — kickoff, punt, field goal, and return units
- Developing specialists and building unit-wide accountability
- Implementing professional-level preparation and situational execution
- Expanding national and international opportunities for Raiders athletes
Dylan brings more than coaching knowledge to the Raiders — he brings lived experience at the highest levels of amateur and professional football around the world. He knows what it takes to win on the biggest stages, and he’s committed to preparing every Raider to do the same.
The Mentality
Special teams win games. Details decide championships. Standards create legacies.
This isn’t just a motto — it’s how Dylan Moghaddam operates every single day. His attention to detail is obsessive. His expectations are non-negotiable. And his belief in the American Raiders’ mission is unshakeable.
Welcome to the brotherhood. The Raid Is On.
