Tri-Cities Fever News Release
The Tri-Cities Fever announce that QB Joe Ayoob has been assigned to the team today by the af2 league office. Ayoob played last season with the Central Valley Coyotes and spent the latter part of his collegiate career with the California Golden Bears. Ayoob who stands at 6'3", 215 lbs started in 9 games for the Coyotes last season. He threw for 1567 yards with 36 TDs finishing the season 4th in the league for passing efficiency. Ayoob transferred to California from San Francisco City College where he was considered one of the premier junior college quarterbacks in the nation. At California, Ayoob started in nine games during the 2005 season. He ended the season 8th in the Pac-10 in passing yards and 9th in total offense. Ayoob saw time in 4 games during the 2006 season including the Holiday Bowl against Texas A&M where the Bears crushed the Aggies 45-10. Coach Richard Davis is very excited about Joe joining the Fever's 2009 roster stating, "Joe is a proven starter that has won games, statistically speaking he has to be one of the best returning players in the league. I really value a guy that can lead a team without being greedy, he understands how to protect the football, and his experiences have really shaped him into an intelligent person and player. Joe was my top choice for this position and we are very fortunate to have him on board." Ayoob is the thirteenth player to be added to the 2009 Fever roster.
