Raider Louis Corum is slated to play at LB for the Virginia Destroyers as they begin their inauguaral season next month in Virginia Beach. It appears that Corum will have a shot at making the final roster.
Raider Tunde Ogun unfortunately did not make the roster for the Destroyers due to significant competition at the HB position. However, Tunde is playing for the Richmond based semi-pro team, the Virginia Hornets. The Hornets played their season opener tonight in NC and pulled out a 47-0 win. Tunde had six carries for 108 yards and one touchdown.
Raider Joshua Smith attended try outs this week in Tampa, FL for the AFL Tampa Bay Storm. While the AFL season is drawing to a close, Kicker Greg Gunderson has struggled all season and the team is looking to replace him.

We wish Josh all the luck in the world in making this AFL dreams become reality.
