Bloomington Extreme News Release


BLOOMINGTON (Ill.) - The Bloomington Extreme Indoor Football Team is pleased to announce the signings of Wide Receiver, Corey Alberty and Running Back, Antoine Brown for the 2011 season.

Corey Alberty, 6'0" 185 lbs., Wide Receiver from Georgia State University has signed a contract to play for the Extreme in 2011. Alberty was a two-way starter during his two seasons at Georgia State, playing wide receiver and defensive back. He was the offensive captain for Georgia State in a season which he made 23 receptions, 3 interceptions, and scored 12 touchdowns. Alberty has played professionally with the San Angelo Stampede Express (IFL) in 2009 and 2010 before being traded to the Maryland Maniacs (IFL) with 6 games remaining in the 2010 season. In 2008, Alberty spent time with the Green Bay Blizzard (AF2) and became the first player from Georgia State University to play professional football.

Antoine Brown, 5'9" 205 lbs., Running Back from Indiana State has signed a contract to join the Extreme for the 2011 season. Brown began his collegiate career as a recruited walk-on at the University of Kentucky where he was a letterman in 2006, prior to transferring to Indiana State. While at Indiana State, Brown compiled 809 rushing yards on 230 attempts (4.0 avg. per carry) and 3 touchdowns to go along with 23 receptions for 107 yards in two seasons.

"Antoine is a physical running back," states Head Coach Mike Murray. "He has good feet and sees the ball well. He's a guy that can catch the ball out of the backfield. Versatility is important in our offense. Corey is a true professional. We look forward to seeing him in camp competing with the great group of receivers we have."

With these two signings, the Extreme roster now stands at 41 players announced as part of the 2011 training camp roster. IFL training camp rosters consist of 45 players.

The Bloomington Extreme will open training camp Sunday, February 13, 2011 and kick off the season two weeks later, Sunday, February 27, 2011 at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum against the Richmond Revolution with a 3:05 pm start time.
