The SteelHawks are still busy out in the community and working on building a quality team for next year.
From the SteelHawks:
The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks are proud to announce that nine more players have signed onto the Steelhawks 2012 roster. Irani DeAraujo, Anthony Amoo, Isiejah Allen, and Maurice Bowers have all re-signed with the Steelhawks. They are proud to announce the addition of John Halman, Joshua Pugh, Derrick Zieglar, BJ Taylor, and James Steadman (WR/QB) to the Steelhawks roster as well.
Irani DeAraujo, was the league leading wide receiver before suffering a what would be season ending neck injury. In the five games DeAraujo played in, he recorded 275 yards for 5 touchdowns, including the game winning reception in the Steelhawks first ever win against the Richmond Revolution.
Anthony Amoo was another Steelhawk that unfortunately had his season cut short due to injury. An offensive/defensive lineman, Amoo was able to play in four games, tallying 7 tackles.
Another offensive/defensive lineman was added in Maurice Bowers. Bowers returns to the Steelhawks and will look to make a huge impact on the line.
A mid-season addition to the 2011 Steelhawks was Isiejah Allen, a defensive back from Fordham University. Allen had 2 interceptions and 27 tackles in his time with the Steelhawks last season. He will look to contribute big to the Steelhawks defensive backfield.
The Steelhawks made another big splash with the signing of Wide Receiver John Halman. Halman was the 2011 IFL Rookie of the Year Runner Up with the Fairbanks Grizzlies. He had a total of 703 yards and 18 touchdowns on the season with the Grizzlies. With Halman, the Steelhawks add to an already strong receiving core.
Joshua Pugh is an offensive/defensive lineman from the University of Alabama who most recently played with the Omaha Beef. Joining him on the lines are Derrick Zieglar (offensive/defensive lineman) and BJ Taylor (defensive lineman). The last current addition, James Steadman is a dual offensive threat as a either a wide receiver or quarterback.
Stay tuned as the Steelhawks continue to add talent for the 2012 season!
