Quad City Steamwheelers News Release
The Quad City Steamwheelers, defending Champions of the IFL's Eastern Conference, have signed defensive back Tarik Pusey.
In 2022 with the Rapid City Marshals of the CIF, Pusey finished 2nd on the team in total tackles with 36, along with 3.5 TFL and an interception.
Director of Player Personnel and Defensive Assistant Coach Ryan Michael told SteamwheelersFootball.com: "Tarik is a dynamic athlete capable of playing both DB and LB. His upper body strength cuts plays short, he's a nightmare to run through and he has an ability to disrupt receivers' confidence. He's a welcome addition to this football team and I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to camp."
The signing further bolsters a very talented secondary, with the Steamwheelers having also signed defensive backs Darreon Jackson, Tajik Bagley, Michael Johnson, Albert Green IV, Tyree Bostick and Joseph Freeland.
"Tarik can play high and he can play low. He is very aggressive and that is what we love. We are excited to see what type of energy he brings. " said Steamwheelers Head Coach Cory Ross.
