The Arena Football League starts their 2011 season tonight. Lets take a looks at the Marshall alumni doting AFL rosters.
The Pittsburgh Power sport two former Thundering Herd players, quarterback Bernard Morris and offensive/defensive lineman Chris Terrell.
Morris had limited experience under center with the AFL’s Jacksonville Sharks in 2010. Backing up AFL legend Aaron Garcia, Morris passed for 567 yards and record a passer rating of 113.9. Morris enters the season as Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback.
This will be Terrell’s first foray into Arena football. Terrell spent last season with the Southern Indoor Football League Columbus Lions. Even though he played defensive tackle at Marshall, Terrell protected the quarterback as an offensive lineman in Columbus.
The NFL Network will be broadcasting tonight’s Pittsburgh Power game against the Philadelphia Soul. Kickoff is scheduled for 8pm.
Former Marshall wide receiver John Cooper has found a home with the Utah Blaze. Cooper has extensive indoor football experience with the Ohio Valley Greyhounds, Lexington Horseman, and Bloomington Extreme. Last year in Bloomington Cooper caught 54 passes for 552 yards and 8 TD’s.
