NEW YORK, N.Y.
– Former University of West Alabama football
standout Lawrence Samuels has received another honor
from the Arena Football League, being named to the
2007 AFL All-Ironman Team.
A member of the
Tiger football team from 1989-92, the 14-year AFL
veteran helped guide the Tampa Bay Storm to a 9-7
regular season record and a berth in the 2007 AFL
Playoffs.
A wide

receptions for 1,143 yards and 15 touchdowns, while
