Florida Firecats News Release


Estero, FL- The "Q-Dog" barks again.

Today, the Florida Firecats announced the team had been reassigned the rights to Quincy Sorrell. The af2's all-time leading tackler (482 career stops) is listed on the depth chart and could be in uniform when the ‘Cats take the field Saturday night against the Manchester Wolves at Germain Arena.

Sorrell has long been a fan favorite in Southwest Florida. In fact, he was voted the fans' favorite player at the end of the 2007 season. The six year veteran finished 2007 with 92.5 tackles, good for second on the team and ninth in the league.

There will be a noticeable change when Sorrell takes the field this season. After excelling at defensive back for his first six years in the af2, Sorrell is listed as a Jack Linebacker on the Firecats depth chart. He'll join a defensive unit that leads the league in scoring defense, giving up just 31 points per game.

Sorrell's return comes a week after Alfred Peterson returned to the Firecats defense. Peterson led the ‘Cats with 10 sacks in 2007. He also recorded 15 tackles for loss a year ago, good for sixth in the af2. Peterson played a large role in last week's 39-27 victory over the Peoria Pirates.

"It is great to have both of them back this season," Firecats Head Coach Kevin Bouis said. "‘Q' and ‘AP' both add fire and intensity to our defense."

The undefeated Florida Firecats return to Southwest Florida this Saturday night, May 10th to take on the Manchester Wolves. Individual Game Tickets are available now! Call (239) 390-CATS (2287) today to reserve your seats! Visit the team online at www.FloridaFirecats.com.
