Arena favorite Eric Scott signs with Alabama Hammerswww.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/post_343.htmlHUNTSVILLE, Alabama - A familiar name will be wearing an Alabama Hammers jersey this spring.
The team announced today that former Tennessee Valley Viper Eric Scott is now a Hammer. Head coach Marty said the Scottsboro native and former Southern Miss standout has signed with the team and will be on hand when players report Friday for training camp.
Scott was an integral member of the Vipers' 2008 arenafootball2 championship team, and he spent last season splitting time between New Orleans and Georgia in the Arena Football League.
"It's great to be back in Huntsville,'' Scott said. "Let's go get another championship."
The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Scott racked up more than 20 tackles and had three sacks for the Voodoo and Force last season in 16 games. He totaled 39.5 sacks and 104 tackles through 2009 in af2 with the Vipers in '08 and '09 and Birmingham as a rookie in '07.
"I'm glad to have Eric coming to camp. He is definitely a strong presence on defense,'' Hammond said. "Right now I feel pretty comfortable with the group I have coming to camp."
