The Tampa Bay Storm is pleased to announce the acquisition of defensive lineman  James Morehead.

"We’re always looking to bolster our roster,” said vice president of football operations Jeff Gooch.  “James has the size and ability to be effective on our defensive line.”

Morehead (6-foot-6, 320 lbs., Colorado State University) spent part of the 2011 season as a member of the Montreal Alouettes’ (CFL) practice squad.

Before turning pro, he was a defensive standout for the CSU Rams, tallying 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery.  He also played on special teams where he had a blocked kick.
