Outlaws Roster Filling Fast and Furious

November 9, 2006 - United Indoor Football Association (UIF)
Billings Outlaws News Release


Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the Outlaws have a lot to be thankful for! First of course is winning the National Indoor Bowl Championship last year! "Winning the Championship last year has set the stage for a lot of positive momentum, especially in recruiting" noted 2nd year Head Coach Heron O'Neal.

"Billings has always been blessed with pound for pound more local talent then any other team in a market this size. Now with a championship under our belt, everyone wants to play here. Rounding out the team with some of the best talent in the country is going to be easy!" O'Neal went on to say.

"We will be going into camp with 40 guys on a tentative roster. That is not to say we won't look at more, we just need to start looking guys over and releasing those that are not quite what we are looking for to make more room." Added GM Dan Austin.

I have signed contracts to bring at least 15 new guys into camp and that is just to start" boasted O'Neal. Recent signings include: Tailback Eddie Linscomb from Missouri State University. Eddie has spent the last two years in Canada as part of the CFL BC Lions. He brings lightning fast speed, averaging close to 100 yards a game. In his Senior Year in HS he ran for an unprecedented 1939 yards.

Running Back Michael Brewster, a stand out producer at Hawaii State and signed by Saskatchewan Rough Riders of the CFL (released as the season got underway to make roster size). Will be a threat anytime he touches the ball. He had a game high 150 yards his last season in Hawaii. This prompted a lot of attention in the pro ranks.

Re-joining the Outlaws will be a familiar face from the 05 season, Offensive Tackle Marcus Johnson. The 6'5" 330# Offensive Lineman from Morgan State spent last year in camp with The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL.

Open Try Outs are set for January 14th at the Metrapark Arena and will be open to the public.
