Saintil (6-0, 190) is a rookie in the AFL and is the third Middle Tennessee State product to make the SaberCats roster in 2007. He led the Sun Belt Conference with 66 receptions his senior year and posted the highest two-year reception total in school history with 106.
The SaberCats and Avengers are both 3-3 and trail first-place Utah (5-2) in the division standings. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
