Mississippi and Memphis combined for 35 roster announcements, Sioux City confirmed an 11-player group, and San Diego's two professional indoor clubs added players across their offenses and defenses. The latest signings show how differently teams are approaching 2027, with some keeping familiar contributors and others assembling much of a roster from the ground up.
This October 25 through November 1 edition incorporates the moves included in the November 2 update. Together, the roundup covers 124 signings and returns plus two trades across 33 teams in the IFL, AF1, NAL, AAL and AIF. Signings covered in previous editions are excluded unless the player has moved to a different team.
Indoor Football League
#2 Arizona Rattlers
Arizona added offensive linemen Brock Fox and Julian Polendo, defensive linemen Pius Njenge and Robert Rios, and defensive back Gleson Sprewell. The Rattlers spread their five additions across protection, the defensive front and the secondary.
Fox earned first team all-conference recognition at Augustana in 2024. Polendo appeared in 48 games at Fresno State and made 11 starts at right guard in 2025. Sprewell joins from New Mexico as a restricted free agent, giving Arizona an addition with IFL experience alongside its newcomers on the lines.
#12 Arkansas Diamonds
Linebacker Taylor Hunt is returning to Arkansas for 2027. Keeping Hunt gives the Diamonds continuity at linebacker as they prepare to compete in the Indoor Football League.
Athens Crush
Athens continued assembling its inaugural roster with defensive backs TaRiq Bracy and JQ Hardaway and offensive lineman Cole De Magistris. Bracy is coming off a 2026 season with Tulsa in which he recorded 76 tackles and two interceptions in 14 games. That production gives the Crush a defender familiar with the pace and spacing of the IFL.
De Magistris started all 23 games during his two seasons at Sacred Heart after previously playing at Bates. His experience as a starter and team captain gives Athens another piece for its offensive line, while Hardaway expands the club's options in the secondary.
#5 Green Bay Blizzard
Green Bay's additions included offensive lineman Caleb Williams and three backfield options in Michel Dukes Jr., Jarrod Ware Jr. and Shelby Lee Jr. Lee was announced at both running back and linebacker, giving the Blizzard another player with experience at more than one position.
Ware's move to Green Bay is a new destination after his earlier announcement with New Mexico. The former UW Whitewater back also has experience with Quad City. Williams addresses the offensive front, while Dukes and Ware join a backfield receiving several additions.
Iowa Barnstormers
An open tryout produced three roster additions for Iowa: wide receiver Markehi Whitlock, linebacker Antonio Alzheimer and offensive lineman Bryan Gomez. Whitlock played his rookie IFL season with Quad City in 2026, so the Barnstormers are getting a receiver who has already made the transition to indoor football.
Alzheimer finished his Minnesota State Mankato career with 187 tackles across 47 games. Gomez played at Independence Community College and William Penn, working on both sides of the line during his college career. All three earned their Iowa opportunities through the tryout.
Quad City Steamwheelers
Quad City added wide receiver Toryian Tubbs, defensive lineman Apollo Johnson and defensive back Shane Meerbott. Tubbs appeared in the league's October 27 transaction report, while Johnson and Meerbott were introduced through individual team announcements. Johnson comes from Ellsworth, and Meerbott played at UMass Dartmouth.
San Antonio Gunslingers
San Antonio acquired wide receiver Ketron Jackson Jr. from Jacksonville in a trade. The October 26 transaction adds another receiver to the Gunslingers' roster and is one of the two trade acquisitions included in this roundup.
#8 San Diego Strike Force
San Diego signed defensive lineman Qaadir Sheppard, offensive linemen Richard Pearce and Jeremiah Rodgers, and wide receivers John Dunmore and Isaiah Huston. The group adds two players in protection, two receiving options and another defender up front.
Sheppard's announcement was posted October 26, with Pearce and Dunmore introduced later in the week. Huston's announcement followed on November 2.
Savannah Leprechauns
Savannah signed defensive backs Russell Dandy and Rudy Silvera and wide receiver Eriq Rice. Dandy was recorded in the October 27 league report, with the other two following October 28. Silvera joins as a restricted free agent from Jacksonville as the Leprechauns add to their secondary and receiving corps.
Tucson Sugar Skulls
Tucson added linebacker Calvin Bundage and athletes Kendarius Smith, Jalen Garner and Scott Walker Jr. Bundage's announcement highlighted his Oklahoma State background. The four additions extend the Sugar Skulls' roster work beyond the backfield and offensive line moves covered in the previous edition.
#11 Tulsa Oilers
Tulsa added offensive lineman Jeremiah Frazier, defensive lineman Malik Malloy, linebacker Evan Simons and defensive back Shyheim Battle. The first three were listed October 26, and Battle followed October 29, giving the Oilers additions at each level of the defense as well as along the offensive line.
The Oilers also acquired offensive lineman Joe Ta'ase from Vegas in an October 27 trade. That move adds a second offensive lineman to Tulsa's group and is counted separately from its four signings.
Arena Football One
#22 Michigan Arsenal
Michigan addressed both lines by signing offensive lineman Mohamad Elazazy and defensive lineman Freddie Booth-Lloyd. Elazazy played at Western Michigan and Alabama A&M, while Booth-Lloyd comes from Temple. The pair joins an Arsenal roster that had already added several players in the secondary and receiving corps in earlier editions.
#1 Nashville Kats
Nashville signed defensive back Zaahir Colen. His announcement adds another player to the Kats' secondary after the club's earlier signings at quarterback, receiver and along the defensive line.
San Diego Stealth
The Stealth signed wide receivers Duane Brown and Songa Yates III, offensive linemen Jeremy Martin Jr. and Jalen Booth, and linebacker and defensive lineman Michael Mason. Brown arrives with the 2025 AF1 Offensive Player of the Year award on his resume, giving San Diego a receiver with an established record in the arena game.
Martin played at Limestone, Yates comes from Lenoir Rhyne, and Mason's college background includes Coastal Carolina. San Diego also welcomed back defensive back Simeon Burns and athlete Shijuan Rogers. Those returns bring the Stealth's group in this edition to seven players, with additions at receiver, on both lines and in the secondary.
Washington Wolfpack
Washington signed Slade Shufelt, who was listed at linebacker and defensive line. The Portland State product joins a Wolfpack front that has received several additions during the offseason.
National Arena League
Amarillo Warbirds
Amarillo confirmed defensive back Kearyon Taylor for 2027. His addition appeared in the NAL's October 27 roster update as the Warbirds continued announcing their personnel for the coming season.
Dallas Apex
Dallas signed offensive lineman Daizion Carroll. His addition brings another player to the Apex's offensive front after the new franchise's earlier announcements at receiver and defensive back.
Louisiana Rouxgaroux
Louisiana announced wide receiver Kevin Felder, running back Derek Daniels Jr., offensive lineman Lierick Reed Jr. and defensive lineman Desmond Raiford. Felder appeared in the October 27 league roundup, while the Rouxgaroux's team announcements introduced the other three.
The four moves reach several parts of the roster. Daniels adds a runner alongside Felder's receiving role, while Reed and Raiford give Louisiana additions on opposite sides of the line.
Omaha Beef
Omaha added running back Ali Scott for 2027. His signing follows the Beef's earlier return announcements at quarterback and on the offensive line, adding another name to the team's offensive plans.
#20 Pueblo Punishers
Defensive back Josh Best is returning to Pueblo. The Punishers keep a familiar player in the secondary after their earlier announcements of a returning player and a new kicker.
Sioux City Bandits
Sioux City's 11-player group was the largest in this edition's NAL coverage. Defensive back Carlton Watkins Jr. and athlete Anthony Watkins appeared in the league's October 27 roundup before the Bandits announced a series of new signings and returns over the weekend.
The returning group includes Jatavius Stewart, Landon Freeman, Treden Davis-Reed, DJ Reese and kicker Trevor Spaulding. Sioux City also signed James Carrington III, Daniel Byse, Jesse Hastings and Bemnet Morgan. Together, those nine team announcements substantially expanded the Bandits' list beyond the two names in the initial league report.
#3 Southwest Kansas Storm
Southwest Kansas re-signed offensive lineman Joshua Moore and added wide receiver Keyon Brown. Moore was described in the team's announcement as a returning championship captain. His return keeps a familiar player up front while Brown adds another target in the passing game.
#23 Wheeling Miners
Wheeling signed defensive back Arnell Anderson and running back Nigel Sealey. The two additions follow the Miners' earlier moves at quarterback, linebacker and on both lines, adding players to the secondary and backfield.
American Arena League
#4 Columbus Lions
Columbus retained quarterback Blaine Espinosa and signed wide receiver Adam Smith. Espinosa returns to the Lions' offense, while Smith brings a college background at Guilford. The pair gives Columbus continuity at quarterback and another option in the receiving corps.
Jersey Bearcats
Jersey signed defensive lineman Dylan Holder, defensive end David Calderon and athlete Richard Fix. Holder played at SUNY Cortland, Calderon comes from Kutztown, and Fix's college background includes Seton Hill. Two of the three additions are designated for the defensive front.
Memphis Blues
Memphis announced 13 signings, with quarterback Maurice Lovett and wide receiver Ty Pettaway among the offensive additions. The Blues also signed offensive linemen Kevin Hansen, Ahmad Farrier and Jaxon Adams, adding three players in protection. Lovett played at Central State, while Farrier's background includes East Texas Baptist.
Defensive linemen Malik Smith and Vincent Hobbs join defensive back Ahmad Butler on the other side of the ball. Memphis also added athletes Ladarius Lee, Markerion Johnson Jr., Antonio Turner II, Anthony Patterson and Mario Hutcherson. Turner was listed out of Rust College, Butler out of Franklin College, and Hutcherson out of Middle Tennessee State.
Butler and Hobbs had appeared in previous coverage with Salina. Their moves to Memphis are included here because they represent different team destinations.
Mississippi Wolfpack
Mississippi accounted for 22 signings and returns, the largest group in the roundup. Running back Walter Ivory, fullback Lemarkcus Kelly and wide receivers Gary Fuller and Carl Robinson were among the additions on offense. Running back Jason Hall is also returning to the Wolfpack.
On defense, Mississippi signed lineman Michael Poole, linebackers Enrique Crumbs and Jayme Vicente-Colon, defensive back Marcus Cody, and defensive end and linebacker Quasi Meyers. Defensive back Scott Norphlet is returning as well, keeping another familiar player in the secondary.
The Wolfpack's remaining signings were Kanoda Lewis, Jaquan Burruss, Derek Townsend, Corwin Gatewood, Antonio Myers, Markayvius Davis, Malek Butler, Lorenzo Austin, Lavonte Jackson, Rejean Wright and Otis Simpson.
Montgomery Catfish
Montgomery signed running back La'Damian Webb and wide receiver Jamal Couch. Webb rushed for more than 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons at South Alabama after previously playing at Florida State. Couch comes from the #17 Minnesota Monsters, bringing professional indoor experience to the Catfish's receiving group.
Ohio Legends
Ohio added Kendra'Tyrq Ray, Daiyon Cook and Teddy Drafton. All three were listed in the AAL's official transaction log during the coverage window as the Legends continued confirming their 2027 personnel.
Texas Desperados
Texas signed Rohan Walters. His October 31 entry in the AAL's transaction report adds another name to the Desperados' 2027 roster.
Tri City Horsemen
Tri-City signed defensive back Mark Carter Jr. and brought back wide receiver Kyler Henson. Carter played at Slippery Rock, while Henson's college background includes Greenville. Henson returns to an organization he has previously represented.
Virginia Haulers
Virginia added offensive linemen Dominique Robertson and Brandon Thorpe, wide receiver Devonte Tinsley, fullback Rashad Payne, defensive back Amari Manuel and defensive end Zay Lewis. The six announcements address both lines, the secondary and two offensive skill positions.
Robertson played at West Georgia, Tinsley at Averett, Manuel at Thomas University and Lewis at Wheeling. Payne was listed out of Seminole State. Robertson's November 1 entry was the last of the Haulers' six moves within the weekly window.
American Indoor Football
Cedar Rapids Titans
Cedar Rapids announced the signing of quarterback Robert Jones. The addition puts another quarterback in the Titans' 2027 roster plans.
