The Pittsburgh Power announced the signings of wide receiver Darius Passmore and defensive back Knowledge Timmons.

Playing through injuries during his junior year, he caught 44 passes for 660 yards and 5 touchdowns. He followed that up with 56 receptions for 945 yards and 7 touchdowns, along with 21 carries for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns as a senior, earning second team All-Conference USA honors and an invitation to the NFL combine in 2009.

Timmons ran track in addition to playing football at Penn State. He was a key contributor on defense and special teams and finished his career with 51 tackles and an interception. He attended the Power's open tryout in October and impressed the coaching staff with his coverage skills. He has also played with Sioux Falls of the IFL.
