Tampa Bay Storm News Release


TAMPA - The five-time world champion Tampa Bay Storm have signed wide receiver Brent Holmes and placed wide receiver Terrill Shaw on injured reserve announced General Manager and Head coach Tim Marcum. Wide receiver Sedrick Robinson was honored as Special Teams Player of the Week by OurSports Central.

"It is tough to lose a receiver like Terrill for any amount of time," said Marcum. "We are fortunate to be able to bring in a guy like Brent. We will look for him to step up and fill in while Terrill recovers."

Holmes, 5-foot-11, 1750-pounds, began the 2008 season with the Georgia Force. In Week 1 against the Dallas Desperados he led the Force with 156 receiving yards and three touchdowns on eight receptions. Holmes, who spent most of the 2007 season on injured reserve with the Force, played in the af2 with the Green Bay Blizzards (2005-06) and in the IFL with the Corpus Christie Hammerheads (2004).
