AIFL Raleigh Rebels sign Chris Peavy

RALEIGH NC - The American Indoor Football League (AIFL) Raleigh Rebels, announced the signing of five players for the 2006 Season. The Rebels have signed FB/LB Chris Peavy, WR Lavel Bailey, OL/DL Issac Mooring, WR/LB Corey Peterson, and kicker Brian Bowers.

You would be hard pressed to find a player with more credentials than Chris Peavy (6'2", 255lbs). Chris was an All-American linebacker for Shaw University. He was a runner up for the Harlon Hill Trophy, given to the best Division II player in the country (and almost unheard of for a defensive player). He was named the CIAA Player of the Year for 2004 while leading the Shaw Bears to the CIAA Championship and a Pioneer Bowl victory over Tuskegee.

"It is nice to find a player with Chris' character and immense skill this close to home. I think his intensity will be a spark for our squad in 2006", said Head Coach Steven G. Folmar
