Sioux Falls Storm News Release


The Sioux Falls Storm of United Indoor Football (UIF) is pleased to announce the signing of two players from the University of Sioux Falls' (USF) NAIA National Championship squad. The Storm has signed record-breaking wide receiver Dusty Hovorka and offensive lineman Zach Campbell. Both athletes played crucial roles in USF's undefeated run to the national championship in 2006.

Hovorka was a three-time All-American selection and is the only receiver in USF history to record over 1,000 receiving yards as a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Hovorka set a USF single season record for touchdowns receiving by scoring 19 times on the way to the national championship in 2006. Hovorka added 76 receptions and 1,304 yards during the 2006 campaign. The 6'2 205 lb receiver tallied a record 291 receptions during his career with the Cougars. Hovorka also accounted for 4,801 yards and 55 touchdowns in his Cougar career, which are also USF and Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) records. Hovorka was named to the All-GPAC First Team in 2004, 2005, and 2006 and was named to the Associated Press Little America Third-Team after the 2006 season.

Campbell started at offensive tackle during the 2005 and 2006 season where he earned All-GPAC First-Team honors after each season. The 6'5 290 lb. Campbell was named a Victory Sports Network All-America honorable mention for his performance during 2006. The Platte, SD native spent his first two seasons of college eligibility at South Dakota State University.

Storm President Colin Steen says "These two kids are winners not only on the field, but off the field as well! They come from a program that expects to dominate every time they step on the field, that mindset will fit right with the Storm. We are excited to see both these athletes in camp battling for a starting position!"

Season tickets for the 2007 season are on sale now. Call the Storm office at 332-4225 to reserve your seats for "The Biggest Show in Town" as the Storm look for three championships in a row in 2007.
