Spokane Shock News Release
Spokane, WA: The Spokane Shock announced today that the team has been assigned OL/DL Ed Ta'mu, 6'1" 345, by the arenafootball2 League Office.
To make room on their roster, the Shock placed OL/DL Matt Walters on recallable reassignment.
After going to the Minnesota Vikings as a fourth round pick in the 2002 NFL draft, Ta'amu (pronounced Ta-ah-moo) suffered an injury (knee) and was released. Ta'amu was then picked up by the Houston Texans but was unable to play due to the same injury.
Ta'amu, a two-year starter out of University of Utah, was a two-time All-Mountain West Conference selection. In his senior season, Ta'amu compiled 123 knockdowns, including a school record of 25 knockdowns against Brigham Young, and was graded 86.8% for blocking consistency.
Most recently, Ta'amu signed late in the 2006 season with the Arena Football League's Utah Blaze as a member of their practice squad.
"Ta'amu will have an immediate impact on our line," Shock Head Coach Chris Siegfried said.
Ta'mu is cleared to play in this weekend's game as the Shock host the Quad City Steamwheelers. Tickets are still available by calling 325 SEAT or visiting any TicketsWest outlet in the Spokane area.
