Spokane Shock News Release
Spokane, WA: The Spokane Shock announced today that WR Markee White has been activated from Other League Exempt and added DB Marquise Charles to the roster. In other roster moves, Spokane placed OL Laupepa Latuli and DL Ayanga Okpokowuruk have been placed on Other League Exempt to join the NFL. Latuli is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys and Okpokowuruk is returning to the New York Giants.
This season White has recorded 29 receptions for 303 yards with nine touchdowns, in only four games (due to injury). Last season, White was a key contributor for Spokane during its Championship run with 24 postseason receptions - including a team-leading nine in the ArenaBowl - for 234 yards and eight touchdowns.
Charles spent his collegiate career at Utah State where he collected 112 career tackles with four interceptions and nine pass break-ups.
The defending ArenaBowl Champions will visit Arizona Friday night for a first-round playoff matchup against the top-seeded Rattlers. This will be the first road playoff game for Spokane in the franchise's six-year history; kickoff is set for 7PM. Although the lineup for this weekend's game has not been determined yet, both White and Charles will be eligible to play.
