Spokane Shock News Release
Spokane, WA: The Spokane Shock announced today Antwone Savage has been assigned to their inaugural roster by the arenafootball2 League office. The Shock also placed Matt Walters, OL/DL, on long term injured reserve.
Savage, 5'11 180, spent the last two seasons in the af2 with the South Georgia Wildcats where he led the team in all-purpose yards with 1,549. Savage, an Offensive Specialist, also led the team in receptions (87), receiving yards (1,070), and touchdowns (22).
"Antwone is a special player," Head Coach Chris Siegfried said. "I coached Antwone in South Georgia and so I have seen first hand what he is capable of doing; he truly is a Gamebreaker."
Savage's name decorates the University of Oklahoma's record book where he was a member of the National Championship team in 2000. Currently, Savage ranks second all-time in receptions and finished his career as a Sooner with 157 receptions, 2,009 yards, and 13 touchdowns. In both 2001 and 2002, Savage earned all Big-12 honors as a receiver and a kick-off returner.
"I'm excited to come to Spokane - I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'm excited to show the city what I can bring to the table," Savage said.
