San Jose SaberCats News Release
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Jan. 15, 2004) â The San Jose SaberCats made their first roster adjustments since the start of training camp by signing fullback/linebacker George Gordon to a three-year contract, announced general manager Terry Malley.
To make room for Gordon on the camp roster, the team waived FB/LB Maurice Douglas.
Gordon (6-1, 265) played fullback for two years at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he was primarily used as a blocking back. He played in 17 games during his Rebel career and blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his two seasons.
A Las Vegas native, Gordon starred at El Dorado High School earning first-team all-conference and all-state honors in both his junior and senior years. He enrolled at Dixie College in Utah following his prep days and was a two-year starter for the No. 1 junior college program in the nation.
Douglas became the first training camp casualty for San Jose following his release. The former member of the St. Louis Rams joined the SaberCats when he signed a free agent contract on November 26.
The SaberCats kickoff their 10th AFL season at Detroit on Thursday, February 5th. The home opener is set for Saturday, February 28th against the Grand Rapids Rampage at HP Pavilion. Single game tickets for all home games can be purchased at all Northern California TicketMaster outlets, on-line at www.ticketmaster.com or in person at the HP Pavilion box office.
