GREENVILLE, SC (February 11, 2010) – The Greenville Force of the Southern Indoor Football League are proud to announce that they have signed former Clemson quarterback Woody Dantzler in hopes of bringing some excitement to the Force’s offense for 2010.

He became only the third quarterback in history to pass for 5,000 yards and rush for 2,500 yards in his career and left Clemson the holder of 53 school records.

After finishing his collegiate career, Woody went signed as un-drafted free agent with NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in 2002 before playing nine games with the Atlanta Falcons in 2003.  After being released from the Falcons, he signed with the Frankfurt Galaxy of in NFL Europe prior to capturing championship glory with the AFL’s Chicago Rush in 2006.

“We are happy with the talent level we are accumulating on the field for this upcoming year,” says Greenville Force General Manager and Head Coach Tony Wells.  “We want to be 150 times better than last year on and off the field and Woody helps bring a lot of excitement on and off the field for our club.”
