ORLANDO - December 7, 2015 - The Orlando Predators have agreed to terms with former Oklahoma Sooners offensive lineman Adam Shead, the franchise announced today. Shead enters his rookie season in the Arena Football League.
"Adam is a big, powerful blocker who has played in big time games throughout his college career," said Head Coach Rob Keefe. "He has his sights set on playing football at the highest level and will have a great opportunity to showcase his tremendous talent as an Orlando Predator."
Shead (6-4, 315, Oklahoma) started 39 games for the Sooners during his college career at Oklahoma.
