Omaha Beef News Release
Monday, January 9, 2006, Omaha, Nebraska - The Omaha Beef of the United Indoor Football Association are pleased to announce the return of Neuby Ras, Jaron Cook, and Henry Whitehead to the 2006 Omaha Beef. Wide Receiver Neuby Ras returns to the Beef after a successful rookie season that saw him finish with 20 receptions for 203 yards and 4 TD's in 10 games. "Neuby overcame a nagging hamstring injury to start last season and eventually became one of our most complete receivers," stated Head Coach Robert Fuller. "Neuby was one of the best run blocking receivers in the league last season and he has a great opportunity to become a featured player for us in 2006."
University of Northern Colorado standout Jaron Cook returns to battle for a starting spot on the Beef offensive line in 2006. Jaron provided outstanding depth last season on an offensive line that allowed a UIF low eight sacks in 16 games. "Jaron could have started for more than a few programs last season and was a real asset to the Beef," said Coach Fuller. "He is an outstanding young man and has trained very hard this off season. I think he is poised for a great season." Jaron resides in Omaha and is a strength and conditioning specialist for the Xplosive Edge.
Henry Whitehead returns to the Omaha Beef secondary after a promising rookie season. Whitehead, from the University of Louisiana-Monroe, overcame early injuries to emerge as the leader of the Beef secondary. "Henry is an amazing athlete and I think he has the ability to be standout for us," stated Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator James Kerwin. Henry now resides in Omaha and works as an Outreach Specialist for the Edmonson Outreach Center.
