ROCHESTER, N.Y.-- The Rochester Raiders Professional Indoor Football and member of the Indoor Football League (IFL), announce today that they have signed former University of Albany All American offensive lineman Raphael Nguti. The signing of Nguti, a native of Brighton, bolsters a roster of homegrown talent that includes several players from the Rochester area. The 6'7 330 pound Nguti has previously received interest from several NFL team including the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders, Carolina Panthers, and the New York Giants for his versatility, size, and aggressiveness.
Nguti was a two-year starter at the Univeristy of Albany and awarded all-Conference honors after his junior and senior seasons. Scouts credit the former Great Dane for being a king-sized blocker who displays great power at the point of attack and easily controls opponents in pass protection.
