NEW LONDON, Conn. (December 3, 2002) – The arenafootball2 league office announced today that defensive specialist Allistair Sebastien has been assigned to the Mohegan Wolves.

Sebastien, a former St. John's standout and former New Haven Ninja (af2), becomes the first player assigned to the Wolves for the 2003 season. Wolves Head Coach Mark Stoute said the 6-0, 200-pound defender will be at camp with Mohegan in March hoping to earn a place on the Wolves' 21-man roster.

As a senior at St. John's in 2001, Sebastien earned Don Hansen's Football Gazette Honorable Mention All-America honors as well as First Team All-Northeast Conference honors.
