Bloomington Extreme News Release


BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Bloomington Extreme head coach Ted Schmitz announced Wednesday the re-signing of wide receiver Glenn Johnson and center Mike Rudicil to the team's 30-man roster.

Johnson was on the team's season-opening 30-man roster, but was later waived after attending a free agent tryout with the Miami Dolphins. Johnson decided to re-sign with the Extreme while waiting further developments from the Dolphins.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Johnson played in eight games for the Extreme last season. He led the team in receiving yards with 547 on 42 catches. He averaged 13-yards per catch and 68.4 yards per game. He also had a team-high 11 touchdown receptions.

Johnson fills a void created by the departure of wide receiver Dwayne Smith, who was waived after suffering a hamstring injury in Saturday's game against RiverCity. Smith had two catches for 22 yards in two games.

Rudicil, a former standout lineman at Bloomington High School and North Central College, played with the Extreme last season.

The Extreme returns to action Saturday with a 7:05 p.m. Eastern Conference game against Lexington at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington. Tickets for all Extreme games are on sale at the Coliseum box office.
