Xplorers Make Player Moves 06/19
June 19, 2003
SOUTHAVEN, Miss – The Memphis Xplorers made several player moves
this week approved by the af2 office. The biggest move was activating QB
Rod Robinson off the short term injured reserve. The Xplorers travel to
Louisville this Saturday to take on the Fire. Memphis returns home on
July 5th against Tennessee Valley. Call (662) 280-3737 for tickets or go
online to www.xplorersaf2.com .
Robinson is expected to play this Saturday night as the Xplorers look to
snap a two game losing streak. Robinson has missed the past three games
with injuries. He currently ranks 7th in af2 with a passing rating of
113.4.
“This is huge for us,” Xplorers head coach Danton Barto said. “Rod
was playing very well when he went down with an injury prior to the
Bossier City game. We missed not only his talent, but also his
leadership in the huddle.”
The Xplorers were assigned WR/LB Joe Gunn from Ole Miss. Gunn played for
the Rebels from 1998-2001 and was a four year letter winner. In 1999,
was selected honorable mention All-America by the Football News. In
2001, was fourth in the SEC in rushing with 870 yards and participated
in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game.
Memphis was also assigned WR/DB Sean Stellato from Marist. Stellato
spent time last year with the Louisville Fire. While at Marist he also
played basketball for the Red Foxes.
The Xplorers reassigned QB Will Burch. In three starts he went 1-2 with
Memphis. WR/DB Martin Dossett was placed on recallable reassignment.
