Before embarking on his indoor career, Horton played one season at Savannah State in Georgia before transferring to Tuskegee University in Alabama where he was a 3-year starter.

One of Hall's biggest contributions to the team in 2006 came on special teams as he accounted for nine tackles and averaged 20.6 yards per kick return.

Storm President Colin Steen says, "Both Leon and Ken are play-makers and they will have plenty of opportunities getting the ball in their hands. Building our base of veteran players returning to the team is vital to another run at a championship and these to athletes are champions!"
