Tampa Bay Storm add Rattler to Roster

TAMPA BAY, Florida -- The Tampa Bay Storm has acquired offensive lineman Chris Jamison and defensive lineman Frances "Frank" Mays, announced Vice President of Football Operations Jeff Gooch.

“Frank provides a big body for the defensive line,” said Gooch. “His height is an added benefit that we hope can be a difference maker on the defensive side of the ball.”

Mays (6-foot-9, 295 lbs., Florida A&M) enters his rookie season with the Storm after spending all of training camp with the team this past offseason. He played at Central Lakes College (MN) before transferring to Florida A&M for his junior and senior seasons. At FAMU, Mays appeared in 21 games for the Rattlers, leading the team with 4.0 sacks in his senior season. He finished his collegiate career with 68 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. Mays began his professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League in 2014.

“We felt the team needed some added presence to the offensive line,” said Gooch. “Chris brings four years of veteran experience along the offensive line and can play multiple positions.”

The Five-Time World Champion Tampa Bay Storm enters its 28th season in the Arena Football League.
