The Quad City Steamwheelers, defending Champions of the IFL's Eastern Conference, have signed former University of Northern Iowa defensive back Roosevelt Lawrence.

From 2018-19 at Northern Iowa, Lawrence recorded 94 tackles (49 solo), a sack, a forced fumble and 2 interceptions.

Director of Player Personnel and Defensive Assistant Coach Ryan Michael told SteamwheelersFootball.com: "Roosevelt is an athletic, physical defensive back who follows through on his assignments, remains locked in coverage and makes life very difficult for his opponents. I'm excited to see what he brings to camp!"

The signing further bolsters a very talented secondary, with the Steamwheelers having also signed defensive backs Darreon Jackson, Malik Duncan, Tajik Bagley, Michael Johnson, Albert Green IV, Tyree Bostick, Joseph Freeland and Tarik Pusey.

"Lawerence has the right size and build to be lethal in this defense. His film shows an aggression and attentiveness that can truly be potent in the indoor game. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to camp!" said Steamwheelers Head Coach Cory Ross.
