TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Storm has acquired quarterback Kyle Havens from the Spokane Shock in exchange for future considerations, announced vice president of football operations Jeff Gooch.
"We really liked what we saw on tape with Kyle," said Hill. "He is a big kid that we think has a great upside. We had an opportunity to work with Spokane to add depth to our quarterback position and are pleased we were able to work something out."

His senior season he finished with a quarterback rating of 144.1 and set a school single-game record with 450 passing yards against New Hampshire.
"I am excited about the situation in Tampa," said Havens. "I want to compete and look forward to coming in and winning some football games."
