Adrian McPherson, a former Seminole -- both at Southeast and FSU -- joined the Storm on Tuesday afternoon.

“Adrian brings a lot to the table,” said vice president of football operations Jeff Gooch.  “He is a guy that has played in the AFL before and the tools to lead.  He is much more mature, as a person and a quarterback, than when he first played in the AFL in 2004.”
