OMAHA, NE: The Omaha Beef announce that they have signed John Norcott, a fullback from Angelo State University. Along with being a football player, Norcott is also a 5-time National Champion in power lifting.
Norcott stands at 6' and weighs 240 pounds. In 2009, he appeared in 11 games, with 8 starts at running back, and received all-LSC honorable mention. He had 16 passes for 122 yards and 3 touchdowns on the backfield, and carried 2 kick returns for 24 yards. For his senior year, he had 71 yards on 13 carries and 2 touchdowns. He was selected for the 2010 All-Lone Star Conference 2nd team, and Don Hensen Super Region 3rd team. At his NFL Pro Day, he had a 40" vertical, 4.85 40 yard dash, and 25 bench press reps. Norcott is excited about coming to the Beef, stating, "I'm looking to contribute to both side of the ball. Signing with Omaha is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to proving myself at this level. I hope to help Omaha excel in playoffs and to a championship."
Not only does Norcott excel on the football field, but he also excels in the weight room.
