Tampa Bay Storm News Release
TAMPA BAY - The Arena Football League has announced that fullback/linebacker Torrance Marshall has been named AFL Ironman of the Week for his performance in Tampa Bay's 69-40 victory against the Grand Rapids Rampage.
Marshall, 6-foot-3, 260-pounds, is in his first season with the Tampa Bay Storm and his second overall. He scored three touchdowns on the ground as he tied a franchise single-season record with 15 rushing touchdowns. Marshall finished the game on offense with three rushes for 12 yards and three touchdowns.
On the defensive side of the ball he was a disruptive force all night as he finished the game with two and a half tackles, one sack for a loss of five yards, four quarterback pressure and recovered a fumble returning it two yards as he helped shut out the Rampage in the fourth quarter.
"Marshall played a solid all-around game," said Storm Head Coach and General Manager Tim Marcum. "We ask him to do a lot on both sides of the ball, he gets in there and plays hard."
Other weekly winners included: Georgia Force's quarterback Chris Greisen (Offensive Player) and Dallas Desperados' defensive back Jermaine Jones (ADT Defensive).
Ironman of the Week candidates included: Dallas' Will Pettis, Philadelphia's Jerrian James, Tampa Bay's Lawrence Samuels, New Orleans' Kenny Henderson and Chicago's DeJuan Alfonzo.
The 2007 Storm season, presented by Champs Sports, Where Sports Lives, returns to the St. Pete Times Forum Saturday, June 23 at 7:30 p.m. as the Tampa Bay Storm take on their Southern Division rival Austin Wranglers in their final regular season game.
