Operating Officer. He will be
responsible for leading the
Predators and their corporate
partners into the new Amway
Center, as well as the
development of new revenue
streams associated with the new
Amway Center. Darrell comes to the Orlando Predators
from the Orlando Magic where he served five seasons as
the teams Sr. Partnership Development Manager.
During the his five seasons with the Magic Darrell was
instrumental in generating new corporate partnerships
while developing community campaigns such as reading
and learning centers for the Parramore community in
conjunction with key Magic partners.
Mr. Saft has also served as an Adjunct Professor at the
Rosen School of Hospitality at the University of Central
Florida. Prior to Westgate Resorts, Mr. Saft worked as a
Consultant in Providence, Rhode Island where he worked
on hospitality & government-related projects and as an

Prior to his tenure with the Magic, Harbin spent 10 years
in Arena Football. From 1995 to 2000, he served as Vice

Prior to arriving in Orlando, DiJulio served as the Director
of Player Personnel for the expansion Portland Thunder,
where he helped build the franchise's inaugural roster.
His first player signed was rookie WR Eric Rogers, who
scored 27 touchdowns in only nine games and is now a
member of the San Francisco 49ers. DiJulio also helped
navigate the team through a nine-round expansion draft
that netted four starters for the franchise, including DB
Eric Crocker, who delivered 10 interceptions during the
team's inaugural season, as well as OG Wayne Tribue,
who was eventually traded to Philadelphia where he
earned Second Team All-Arena honors. Portland went on
to earn a playoff berth in its first season of existence.

Michael DiJulio was hired by the
Orlando Predators in January of
2014. In his two seasons with
the franchise, the Predators

consecutive South Division
titles, including a berth in the
American Conference
Championship.
DiJulio entered the Arena Football League as a player
personnel intern with the Utah Blaze in 2012, where he
worked under Director of Player Personnel Karl Bates. He
was hired into a full-time position as the team's Director of
Communications while continuing to assist with player
personnel duties for two seasons. During his tenure in
Utah, DiJulio worked alongside current Predators Head
Coach Rob Keefe and Offensive Coordinator Matthew

he was hired with only seven weeks to reshape a roster
that was coming off a 7-11 season in 2013. DiJulio
worked closely with the coaching staff to identify and
recruit new talent to the Predators. He was instrumental
in signing several key free agents, including WR Greg
Carr, who went on to earn the 2014 Rookie of the Year
Award as well as Second Team All-Arena honors. Other
notable free agents acquisitions included: QB Jason
Boltus, WR Khalil Paden, WR Kendal Thompkins, OC
Zack Williams, OG Hayworth Hicks, OG Bryan Collins,
DE Earl Okine, and DE Meshak Williams. Orlando also
landed QB Bernard Morris, WR Larry Brackins, DB Tracy
Belton, DE TJ Fatinikun, and DB Arness Ikner through
trades.
DiJulio began his career in player personnel as a
research intern for Scouting Services Inc., where he
served as the top assistant to the company's Director of
Operations, Dave-Te' Thomas. In this role, he created full
player profiles on NFL Draft prospects while handling
scouting duties for the west coast region. Alongside
Thomas, DiJulio became only the second person since
1968 to co-author The NFL Draft Report in 2010 and
2011 – an annual database of NFL Draft prospect profiles
edited and distributed by the NFL Communications
Department.
The 2014 Orlando Predators posted an 11-7 record and
won their first South Division title since 2006. In the first
round of the playoffs, Orlando knocked off the 15-3
Pittsburgh Power to secure a berth in the American
Conference Championship. In total, DiJulio executed 213
total transactions throughout the 2014 season, including
22 trades.
Born in Bellevue, Washington, DiJulio earned a
bachelor's degree from Washington State University.
Entering the 2015 season, the Predators once again saw
success in the free agent market, landing standout
rookies in DT Austin Brown, DB Nick Taylor, OG Erle
Ladson, and OC William Maxwell, as well as key veterans
in QB Randy Hippeard, WR Brandon Thompkins, and LB
Terence Moore. The 2015 Orlando Predators improved
their regular season record to 12-6 while winning the
franchise's second consecutive division title for the first
time since 1994.

winning to the Orlando
Predators. In his first two
seasons with the franchise, Keefe has delivered
consecutive seasons of double-digit victories.
Keefe was promoted to Head Coach of the Shock when
the organization joined the Arena Football League in
2010. Under Keefe's guidance, Spokane finished with the
best record in the AFL (13-3 regular season) while
producing the League's fourth-ranked scoring defense
(52.7 ppg). Keefe became the youngest coach in AFL
history to win a championship, as the Shock defeated the
Tampa Bay Storm in ArenaBowl XXIII.
After a standout playing career at Mercyhurst College
(Erie, PA), Keefe entered Arena Football in 2004 with the
Columbus WarDogs of the af2. He joined the Spokane
Shock (then af2) for the club's inaugural season in 2006,
helping the franchise secure its first ArenaCup
Championship. Keefe ended his two-year tenure with the

franchise had achieved back-to-back division titles since
1993. Orlando secured its 22nd postseason berth by
posting 12 wins in the regular season for just the second
time in franchise history and the first since 2003.
In his first season at the helm, Keefe directed the
Predators to its first division title since 2006, coming
within one win of a berth in the ArenaBowl. The 2014
Orlando Predators secured the South Division
Championship and reached the American Conference
Championship after knocking off the 15-3 Pittsburgh
Power in the opening round of the postseason.
Rob Keefe arrived in Orlando after serving as the
Defensive Coordinator of the Utah Blaze for two seasons.
He joined Utah midway through the 2012 season and
engineered a dramatic turnaround on that side of the ball.
After allowing an average of 64 points over the first 10
games of the season, Utah allowed just over 51 points
per contest under Keefe. In the opening round of the
2012 playoffs, the change in culture was loudly put on

Coordinator of the Spokane Shock in 2010 under thenHead Coach Rob Keefe. In his first season calling plays
for the Shock, the team posted a 13-3 record and won
ArenaBowl XXIII. Sauk got his coaching start as the
quarterbacks and receivers coach for the Shock in 2008.
Known for his cerebral
approach, Matthew Sauk has
achieved unparalleled on-field
production throughout his career
and has earned a reputation for
his explosive offenses. He is a
two-time winner of the Arena
Football League's Assistant
Coach of the Year Award and
has coached three of the last four AFL MVPs. Sauk was
hired as the Offensive Coordinator of the Orlando
Predators on October 19, 2015.

the Portland Thunder during the team's inaugural season,
where he was able to lead an expansion franchise filled
with 21 rookies to the playoffs in its first year of existence.
Sauk has earned a reputation for successfully developing
AFL quarterbacks. At various points in his career, he has
mentored three of the past four League MVPs in Nick
Davila, Tommy Grady, and
Erik Meyer, all of whom are
quarterbacks. Nick Davila
worked under Sauk as a
rookie in 2008 before going
on to win MVP accolades in
2011 with the Arizona
Rattlers. Grady received the
honor in 2012, his second
season under Sauk.
Spokane's Erik Meyer
earned the award in 2013
after playing under Sauk as
a rookie with the Shock in
2010 and again the
following season with the
Utah Blaze.
Sauk forever made his mark in the Arena Football
League record books during a three-year stint as the
Assistant Head Coach
and Offensive
Coordinator of the Utah
Blaze (2011-13). He
received his first
Assistant Coach of the
Year award in 2011 after
his offense set Arena
Football League records
for passing yards (5,422),
passing touchdowns
(128) and passing first
downs (328).
Astonishingly, Sauk
proceeded to shatter
those marks again the
following season,
rewriting the AFL record books while garnering his
second-consecutive Assistant Coach of the Year Award.
A native of Livonia, Michigan, Sauk played collegiately at
Utah State University in 1996 and 1997, where he set
multiple records and still ranks among the top 10 in
school history for career passing yards (5,385),
completions (334), attempts (664), and total offense
(5,466). As a senior, he earned second-team All-Big West
honors while leading the Aggies to the Humanitarian
Bowl.
In 2012, Sauk's offense unit enjoyed the most productive
offensive campaign in AFL history. The group surpassed
its previous all-time records with 5,758 passing yards,
142 passing touchdowns, 332 passing first downs, 510
pass completions and 753 pass attempts. Under Sauk's
tutelage, Utah Blaze quarterback Tommy Grady earned
the AFL's Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of
the Year awards while being named a First Team AllArena performer.
Sauk and his wife Michele live in Salt Lake City, Utah with
their three children, Aysha, Trinity, and Xavier.

DEFENSE DOMINATES AS PREDATORS ROUT TAMPA BAY IN SEASON OPENER
Orlando made it a point to upgrade its defense this offseason and the unit didn’t
disappoint. The Predators put forth a stifling defensive effort as the team opened the
2016 season with a 76-25 road victory over the rival Tampa Bay Storm.
Orlando denied the Storm offense seven times on the night, notching three
interceptions and a fumble recovery while forcing three turnovers on downs. In the
secondary, newly-acquired DB Varmah Sonie posted two picks and a team-high 7.5
total tackles while DB Paul Stephens returned another interception 13 yards for a
score. Four-time All-Arena DL Mike Lewis also made his presence felt, recovering a
fumble in the end zone for another defensive touchdown on the opening drive of the
third quarter.
The offense more than kept pace with the dominant defensive performance, scoring
on all nine of its possessions. QB Randy Hippeard threw for 241 yards and six
touchdowns before being relieved in the fourth quarter by QB Bernard Morris, who
tossed two more scores of his own.
WR Greg Carr returned to the form that made him the AFL’s 2014 Rookie of the Year,
hauling in Orlando’s first three touchdowns of the game before finishing with seven
catches for 113 yards and four scores. WR Brandon Thompkins registered six
receptions for 61 yards and two touchdowns while WR LaMark Brown gained 105
yards on a team-high nine catches, including a 15-yard score. Former UCF offensive
linemen Jordan McCray even got in on the action, coming up a four-yard touchdown
reception late in the fourth quarter.
The Arena Football League’s 3,000th game proved to be historic for the Orlando
franchise, as the win also marked the Predators’ largest margin of victory in the “War
on I-4” rivalry.

PREDATORS OUTLAST PORTLAND STEEL, START SEASON 2-0
The Orlando Predators (2-0) emerged with a 53-50 victory in a back-and-forth battle
with the Portland Steel (0-2) in front of 10,732 fans at the Amway Center on Saturday
night.
The Steel took a late 50-46 lead as fullback Bryson Kelly scored off a one-yard run
with 49 seconds remaining in the game. Moments later, wide receiver Brandon
Thompkins fielded the kickoff in the end zone and eluded multiple defenders as he
weaved through the coverage unit before bursting upfield to the opponent’s five yardline. Three plays later, quarterback Randy Hippeard punched it over the goal line on a
quarterback sneak to give the Predators a 53-50 lead.
Portland regained possession with 18 seconds remaining on the clock, but newlyacquired defensive back Kent Richardson promptly halted the drive, picking off a pass
attempt by Portland quarterback Danny Southwick to seal the win for Orlando.
Orlando managed to score on all eight of its offensive possessions as Hippeard
completed 14-of-28 pass attempts for 228 yards and six touchdowns, adding six yards
and two scores on the ground. Brandon Thompkins led all receivers with 110 yards
and three touchdowns on five receptions. Greg Carr added 59 yards and two
touchdowns on five receptions, while LaMark Brown caught four passes for 59 yards
and another touchdown.

PREDATORS OUTLAST PORTLAND STEEL, START SEASON 2-0
The Orlando Predators (3-0) renewed their rivalry with the Jacksonville Sharks (1-2) in
front of 7,835 fans at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on Monday night. The
back-and-forth battle came down to the game’s final moments as Orlando emerged
with a 63-56 victory to remain perfect on the 2016 season.
The contest looked to be in jeopardy when Jacksonville recovered an onside kick to
regain possession inside Orlando territory with under a minute remaining and the
score tied, 56-56. In need of a big play from the defense, nose guard Terrance Taylor
answered the call for the Predators as he broke through the interior and stripped
Jacksonville QB Tommy Grady, recovering the loose ball to regain possession for
Orlando with only 32 seconds remaining.
Two plays into the resulting drive, Hippeard dropped back and launched a deep 33yard pass to WR Greg Carr, who secured an outstanding one-handed touchdown grab
with a defender hanging on him.
Jacksonville got the ball back with 19 seconds remaining and managed to drive to
Orlando’s 10, but DB Varmah Sonie broke up a pass to the end zone as time expired
to seal the victory.
Randy Hippeard completed 26-of-37 pass attempts for 296 yards and four touchdowns
with two interceptions, adding 12 yards and two more scores on the ground. Brandon
Thompkins paced the receiving corps with nine receptions for 83 yards and one
touchdown and also returned a missed field goal 54 yards for a score. Making his first
appearance of the season, Larry Brackins caught two passes for 37 yards and two
touchdowns while adding a 12-yard kick return for a score. Greg Carr added eight
receptions for 108 yards and another score.

PREDATORS START SEASON 4-0 WITH VICTORY OVER LA KISS
The Orlando Predators (4-0) opened the season with their fourth straight victory on
Saturday night, knocking off the LA KISS (2-2) by final score of 43-40 in front of crowd
of 10,127 at the Amway Center.
Quarterback Randy Hippeard spread the ball around as he hooked up with four
different receivers for scores. The fourth-year signal caller finished the night
completing 22-of-32 pass attempts for 273 yards with five touchdowns and one
interception. Brandon Thompkins paced the receiving corps with seven receptions for
92 yards and two touchdowns.
The Predators defense registered four stops in the game and the effort was led by
defensive back Varmah Sonie, who posted two interceptions to go along with 4.5 total
tackles. Linebacker Terence Moore added five total tackles with one stop for loss and
another interception. Defensive linemen Willie McGinnis, Darryl Cato-Bishop, and Mike
Lewis also combined for three sacks on the night.
The teams traded scores to open the game as LaMark Brown scored from two yards
out on a screen from Hippeard following a one-yard touchdown run by LA’s Rory
Nixon. Sonie made a leaping interception on the next KISS possession and the
Predators promptly capitalized on the turnover, scoring off a leaping 11-yard
touchdown reception by Greg Carr to build a 13-7 lead.
The KISS found the end zone on an eight-yard reception by DJ Stephens, but Orlando
quickly regained a 19-14 lead off a 22-yard catch-and-run by Brandon Thompkins.
Stephens scored on a 33-yard reception for the KISS a series later, but Mark Lewis
kept the Predators ahead off a 21-yard field goal for a 22-21 halftime lead.
The Predators came storming out of the gates with three unanswered scores to start
the third quarter, building a 43-21 lead beginning with a five-yard touchdown reception
by Larry Brackins. On the following KISS possession, Stanley fumbled the snap and
defensive end Mike Lewis recovered the loose ball for Orlando. Thompkins converted
the turnover into points, taking a short reception 44 yards to the end zone for the
score. The ensuing kickoff by Mark Lewis ricocheted off the nets and bounced back
into the field of play, where it was recovered by Brackins in the end zone for the score.
LA struck back with three unanswered scores of their own in the fourth quarter, as
Stanley hit DJ Stephens for a 15-yard touchdown before hooking up with Donovan
Morgan for two more scores. However, Orlando would successfully recover LA’s
onside kick attempt and proceeded to run out the clock to seal the victory.

PREDATORS ADVANCE TO 7-0 WITH VICTORY OVER TAMPA BAY
The Orlando Predators are off to the franchise’s best start in 16 years. With a 42-40
victory over the Tampa Bay Storm (0-6) in front of a season-high crowd of 12,971 at
Amway Center, the Predators advanced to 7-0 for the first time since 2000, tying the
second-best start in team history.
Randy Hippeard completed 16-of-26 pass attempts for 220 yards and five touchdowns
with one interception. Greg Carr and Kendal Thompkins each hauled in two
touchdown passes while Brandon added another scoring reception as well as a 57yard kickoff returned for a touchdown.
Kent Richardson paced the defense, logging 8.5 total tackles with one tackle for loss,
one interception, and two pass breakups. Varmah Sonie posted four total tackles while
adding three pass breakups.
The Predators trailed 14-7 in the first quarter after Storm quarterback Jason Boltus
connected with T.T. Toliver and Phillip Barnett on touchdown throws. Hippeard hit
Greg Carr from eight yards out on the Predators first drive, then found Brandon
Thompkins for a 21-yard score to tie the game on the opening drive of the second
quarter.
The Storm regained the lead off a one-yard touchdown run by linebacker Jimmy
Gordon, but Orlando tied it moments later as Brandon Thompkins took the ensuing
kickoff the length of the field for a 57-yard score. Boltus would find the end zone on a
one-yard run with 38 seconds remaining to give Tampa Bay a 27-21 advantage at
halftime.
Three plays in the third quarter, Kendal Thompkins took a short pass and turned it into
a 39-yard score, side-stepping multiple defenders on his way to the end zone to put
the Predators on top, 28-27. The Predators defense forced a quick four-play turnover
on downs a series later and Hippeard turned to Thompkins once again, connecting on
a six-yard score for a 35-27 advantage.
Boltus hit Toliver on a 16-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, but Predators
linebacker Willie McGinnis blocked the PAT for a 35-33 lead heading into the final
quarter.
Greg Carr hauled in a seven-yard touchdown throw and Storm wide receiver Phillip
Barnett caught a four-yard score before Tampa Bay regained possession with 3:42
remaining in the game as the Predators held a 42-40 lead. Facing 4th-&-4 from near
midfield, Kent Richardson stepped in front of the pass attempt by Boltus and secured a
game-winning interception to seal the victory.

COMEBACK FALLS SHORT IN PHILADELPHIA
AS PREDATORS SUFFER FIRST LOSS
The Orlando Predators (7-1) suffered their first of the season on Saturday evening,
falling on the road 62-54 to the Philadelphia Soul (7-1). Orlando battled back from a
28-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but was unable to complete the comeback
attempt.
QB Randy Hippeard threw for 276 yards and eight touchdowns with one interception
on the night, hooking up with WR Brandon Thompkins for five scores as the wideout
hauled in a game-high 13 passes for 144 yards. WR Greg Carr caught six passes for
87 yards and a score, while WR Larry Brackins and OL Chad Anderson each added
short touchdown grabs.
The first quarter ended in a 7-7 tie as FB Jeramie Richardson scored on a one-yard
run for the Soul before Hippeard responded with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Carr.
Philadelphia went ahead early in the second quarter off a scoring reception by WR
Darius Reynolds, but a missed PAT by the Soul allowed the Predators to take a 14-13
lead on a nine-yard touchdown grab by Thompkins.
Reynolds caught another score from seven yards out for the Soul, but Orlando would
need only one play to regain the lead. After recovering Philadelphia’s onside kick
attempt, the Predators quickly converted the great field position into points as
Thompkins caught a short pass and took it 10 yards to the end zone for a 21-20
advantage.
WR Ryan McDaniel caught a five-yard touchdown pass for Philadelphia and the
Predators responded with an eight-yard scoring toss from Hippeard to Brackins.
However, a missed PAT by Orlando left the game tied 27-27 with under a minute
remaining in the half. Richardson would score on a one-yard run for Soul as time
expired in the half, leaving the Predators trailing 34-27 at the midway point.
Philadelphia built a 55-27 lead off of three unanswered scores in the third quarter.
Orlando received the kick to start the second half, but Hippeard was intercepted by DB
Dwayne Hollis on the first play of the drive and Richardson scored again on a short run
for the Soul. Philadelphia then scored off a five-yard reception by Reynolds after the
Predators turned the ball over on downs. Moments later, the ensuing kickoff bounced
off the uprights and the Soul managed to recover the loose ball in the end zone for
another score.
Orlando ended the scoring drought and rattled off three unanswered scores of its own
to start the final quarter, beginning with an 11-yard touchdown toss from Hippeard to
Thompkins. DE Darryl Cato-Bishop recovered a fumble for the Predators after sacking
Soul QB Dan Raudabaugh on the ensuing series and Orlando converted the turnover
into points off a two-yard scoring toss from Hippeard to OL Chad Anderson. Moments
later, DB Kent Richardson recovered an onside kick for Orlando and Thompkins
hauled in a 34-yard touchdown to cut the deficit, 54-47.
Philadelphia managed to put Orlando back in a two-score hole following a three-yard
touchdown run by Reynolds, but the Predators battled back with a 15-yard scoring
catch by Thompkins. However, the Soul managed to recover Orlando’s onside attempt
on the ensuing kickoff and ran out the clock to seal the loss, 62-54.

PREDATORS FALL TO JACKSONVILLE, 59-56
The Orlando Predators (7-2) dropped a 59-56 decision to the rival Jacksonville Sharks
(4-4) on Friday night in front of an Amway Center crowd of 10,651.
Randy Hippeard completed 26-of-37 pass attempts for 274 yards with seven
touchdowns and two interceptions, connecting with Larry Brackins four times for 29
yards and three scores. Brandon Thompkins paced the receiving corps with 11
receptions for 131 yards and two touchdown while Greg Carr added 71 yards and two
more scores on seven catches.
Hippeard connected with Brackins on a three-yard touchdown throw to give the
Predators a 7-6 lead at the end of the opening quarter. The Sharks got on the board
first as Tommy Grady found Joe Hills on a two-yard score, but a missed PAT gave
Orlando the early edge.
Jacksonville scored two plays into the second quarter off a 31-yard catch by Hills, but
another missed PAT allowed Orlando to take a 14-12 lead on the ensuing series as
Hippeard launched a 24-yard score over the top of the defense to Greg Carr. The
Sharks followed with another Grady-to-Hills score, this time from a yard out, but
Hippeard would fire a nine-yard touchdown strike to Brandon Thompkins to give the
Predators a 21-19 lead at the one minute warning. Hills would catch a six-yard
touchdown pass with 25 seconds remaining in the half to give the Sharks a 26-21
advantage at the midway point.
Coming out of the half, Hills scored again on an eight-yard reception, but Brandon
Thompkins answered with a 54-yard touchdown return on the ensuing kickoff to cut
Jacksonville’s lead, 33-28.
The Sharks built a 47-28 lead early in the fourth quarter, beginning with an 11-yard
scoring reception by Hills. On the following Predators drive, Hippeard’s pass attempt
bounced off the wall and into the arms of Sharks DB Greg Reid and Jacksonville would
convert the interception into a one-yard touchdown run by FB Derrick Ross.
The Predators got back on the board midway through the final frame as Hippeard hit
Larry Brackins on a four-yard touchdown. Orlando’s defense answered the call on the
ensuing series, denying Grady’s fourth-down pass attempt to force a turnover on
downs. Hippeard found Brackins again for a nine-yard scoring completion on the
resulting drive to cut the deficit, 47-42.
Jacksonville got a quick 13-yard score from Hills on the next play from scrimmage, but
Brandon Thompkins responded with a 17-yard touchdown reception with 28 seconds
remaining on the clock to give the Predators life as they trailed 53-48. Orlando
attempted the onside kick, but the Sharks recovered and scored again off a quick pass
to Hills. Greg Carr hauled in a 13-yard score during the final drive, but the effort was
too late as time expired.

PREDATORS DEFEAT LA KISS ON GAME’S FINAL PLAY
The Orlando Predators (8-2) snapped a two-game skid and emerged with a 43-41 road
win over the LA KISS on Sunday night in front of a crowd of 6,287 at the Honda
Center. In a back and forth battle that came down to the game’s final snap, the
Predators earned the victory in the most improbable of ways.
The KISS went ahead 41-35 off a 21-yard touchdown reception by WR Brandon
Collins with 3:10 remaining in the game and a missed PAT gave Orlando a chance to
win it on their final drive. With 10 seconds left on the clock, Bernard Morris kept it on a
designed run and raced three yards around the right end for the score, but another
miss on the extra point attempt left the game tied, 41-41.
LA returned the ensuing kickoff to their own 14 and lined up for a game-winning field
goal attempt with three seconds remaining on the clock, but an errant snap went past
the holder and hit the back wall of the end zone, resulting in a game-winning safety for
the Predators.
Morris started at quarterback for the Predators in place of an injured Randy Hippeard
and scored four total touchdowns as he completed 16-of-26 attempts for 171 yards
and two touchdowns while adding 45 yards and two scores on 10 rushing attempts.
Brandon Thompkins put forth an electric performance in multiple phases of the game
as he racked up 217 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns. Offensively, he
hauled in a game-high eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. On special
teams, Thompkins returned two kickoff for scores, each of which came from distances
over 50 yards.
Varmah Sonie notched his sixth interception of the season for the defense while
adding five total tackles.
The Predators trailed 14-0 early in the second quarter as WR Donovan Morgan caught
two touchdowns passes from KISS QB Pete Thomas to start the game. From there,
Orlando would shake off the slow start and tie the game with two unanswered scores
of their own. Morris first found Greg Carr wide open up the right sideline for a 13-yard
score. Two plays into the ensuing KISS possession, Sonie halted the drive as he
picked off the pass attempt by Thomas and the Predators converted the turnover into
points to even the score as Morris ran it into the end zone from three yards out.
With 20 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Morgan caught a seven-yard score
to give LA the lead at halftime, 21-14.
The Predators tied the game on the opening drive of the third quarter, capping off a
lengthy 12-play, 47-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown strike from Morris to
Brandon Thompkins. LA briefly regained the lead off a four-yard reception by Morgan,
but Thompkins would take the ensuing kickoff the length of the field for a 56-yard
touchdown return to tie it heading into the fourth quarter, 28-28.
Thomas connected with FB Rory Nixon on a 16-yard screen for a touchdown on the
opening drive of the final frame, but Thompkins once again answered loudly with a
dynamic play on special teams. Thompkins fielded the resulting kickoff in the end zone
and burst up field, weaving through would-be tacklers before breaking free for a 55yard touchdown return to tie the game at 35-35 midway through the fourth.

LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL LIFTS PREDATORS PAST CLEVELAND
With only seconds remaining on the clock, kicker Mark Lewis successfully booted a
23-yard field goal to push the Orlando Predators (9-2) past the Cleveland Gladiators
(5-6) in a 59-56 victory.
Randy Hippeard returned to action after missing last week’s game due to injury and
scored six total touchdowns. The fourth-year signal caller completed 23-of-34 attempts
for 316 yards and four touchdowns while adding 22 yards and two scores on seven
carries. Brandon Thompkins hauled in eight receptions for a game-high 127 yards and
two touchdowns, while Greg Carr caught nine passes for 95 yards and two more
scores. Fullback John Martinez also found the end zone, rushing for 11 yards and two
touchdowns.
Varmah Sonie paced the defense with 4.0 total tackles while adding a forced fumble
that was recovered by linebacker Terence Moore. Kent Richardson recorded his third
interception of the season to go along with 3.0 tackles and a pass breakup. Defensive
end Darryl Cato-Bishop logged 3.0 total tackles, including a half-sack and 1.5 tackles
for loss. Cato-Bishop now leads the AFL with 10 tackles for loss on the season.
The Predators jumped out to an early 21-7 lead in the first quarter, beginning with a
one-yard touchdown run by Hippeard on the game’s opening series. One snap into
Cleveland’s first possession, Sonie jarred the ball free after laying a big hit on WR
Larry Beavers and Moore recovered the fumble for Orlando. Hippeard promptly
converted the turnover into points, firing a 26-yard touchdown pass to Brandon
Thompkins on the next play from scrimmage.
Cleveland QB Arvell Nelson connected with Beavers on a 37-yard touchdown pass a
series later, but Orlando would need just one play to respond as Hippeard completed a
short throw again to Thompkins, who shed a tackle and broke free for a 32-yard score.
Following a 14-yard touchdown pass from Nelson to WR Devin Wilson for Cleveland,
the Predators pushed the lead back to two scores midway through the second quarter
as Hippeard eluded the pass rush and scrambled to the end zone for an 11-yard
touchdown and a 28-14 advantage. The Gladiators scored late in the quarter off a sixyard reception by WR Quentin Sims, but Orlando would take a 35-21 lead into the
locker room at the half after Hippeard hooked up with Carr on a two-yard touchdown
pass as time expired.
Cleveland managed to tie the game with two unanswered scores to start the third
quarter. WR Collin Taylor caught a 33-yard score on the opening series of second half
and the Gladiators recovered a fumble on the following Predators drive. Sims caught a
four-yard pass from Nelson to even the score, but Orlando would regain the lead off a
one-yard touchdown run by Martinez as time expired in the third.
The teams traded scores throughout much of the fourth quarter, resulting in a 56-56 tie
in the game’s final seconds. Sims caught a 37-yard score for Cleveland on the first
play of the fourth and the Predators answered as Carr came up with a five-yard
touchdown reception. The Gladiators would once again tie it off a 30-yard reception by
Sims.
Orlando regained the lead with 45 seconds left to play off another one-yard scoring run
by Martinez, but the Gladiators would recover the Predators’ onside kick attempt and
convert the good field position into another game-tying score as Beavers caught a
four-yard touchdown pass.
With 23 seconds remaining on the clock, the Predators set out on their final drive.
Hippeard completed an 11-yard pass to Kendal Thompkins before hitting Carr for a 21yard gain to the opponent’s eight yard-line to set Lewis’ game-winning kick.

ORLANDO PREDATORS DEFEAT JACKSONVILLE SHARKS, 44-34
An emotional week ended in triumph for the Orlando Predators (10-2) as the team
earned a 44-34 road win over the rival Jacksonville Sharks (5-6) on Saturday. On a
night in which the team removed the individual names from their uniforms and sported
#ORLANDOUNITED on the back of all jerseys as a tribute to the victims of the Pulse
tragedy, it was Orlando native and Jones High School graduate Bernard Morris who
was called to action to lead the Predators to victory.
Leading 30-27 late in the fourth quarter, Morris subbed into the game for starting QB
Randy Hippeard, who went down with injury after being sacked the previous play.
Facing 3rd-&-Goal and needing a score to maintain a comfortable lead, Morris took his
first snap and tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to WR Greg Carr to put Orlando up,
37-27.
The Sharks would regain possession and quickly made it a three-point game as QB
Tommy Grady hit WR Joe Hills from nine yards out for a touchdown. With 47 seconds
remaining on the clock, Morris returned to the field determined on putting the game
away for good. Facing 3rd-&-Goal once again, the veteran signal caller dropped back
and fired a nine-yard strike to Carr in the end zone for the final touchdown.
The two touchdowns were Morris’ only pass attempts of the night. Prior to suffering the
fourth quarter injury, Hippeard completed 18-of-30 attempts for 180 yards and four
touchdowns with one interception. All four of Carr’s receptions went for scores while
Brandon Thompkins paced the receiving corps with 11 receptions for 93 yards and two
touchdowns.
On the defensive side of the ball, ends Darryl Cato-Bishop and Logan Harrell each
forced fumbles that resulted in turnovers for the Predators. LB Terence Moore posted
a team-high 11 total tackles and DB Paul Stephens also notched an 11-yard
interception.
Orlando now holds the top overall seed in the Arena Football League and is the first
team in the AFL to reach 10 victories in 2016.

MORRIS SCORES EIGHT TOUCHDOWNS IN VICTORY OVER TAMPA BAY
Quarterback Bernard Morris scored eight total touchdowns while leading the Orlando
Predators (11-2) to a 56-33 victory over the rival Tampa Bay Storm (1-11) on Friday
night. The #OrlandoUnited community was on full display as a season-high crowd of
13,527 packed the Amway Center.
Making his second start of the season, Morris completed 16-of-23 pass attempts for
131 yards and five touchdowns while adding 31 yards and three more scores on the
ground. He hooked up Greg Carr five times for 43 yards and three touchdowns and
Brandon Thompkins paced the receivers with seven catches for 54 yards and two
scores.
The Predators defense forced four total stops in the game, logging three interceptions
and a turnover on downs. In the secondary, Paul Stephens, Emanuel Cook and
Terence Moore all registered picks while nose guard Willie McGinnis added a sevenyard sack.
Orlando jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead beginning with a nine-yard touchdown
run by Morris on the game’s opening drive. Emanuel Cook intercepted Storm QB
Jason Boltus on the ensuing drive and the Predators converted the turnover into points
as Morris fired a 10-yard scoring strike to Thompkins.
Tampa Bay ended the drought early in the second quarter off a six-yard touchdown
pass from Boltus to WR Prechae Rodriguez, but Morris would regain a two-score lead
for the Predators a series later with his second touchdown run of the night.
Orlando attempted an onside kick following the score and Tampa Bay would recover
as Prechae Rodriguez took it 10 yards for a touchdown. Rodriguez managed a fiveyard scoring reception later in the quarter, but Greg Carr caught two touchdown
passes before the half was out to give the Predators a 35-20 lead at the midway point.
The Predators built a 49-20 lead in the second half that started with an interception by
Paul Stephens on the opening drive of the third quarter. Morris converted the turnover
into his third rushing touchdown of the night and the defense once again denied the
Storm a series later, forcing a turnover on downs inside opponent territory. On the first
play of the fourth quarter, Morris found Carr for a third touchdown, this time from nine
yards out.
Rodriguez posted his third touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter, but Morris
responded a series later, lofting a two-yard score to Thompkins for a 56-27 advantage.
Tampa Bay would get one more score off an eight-yard reception by WR V’Keon
Lacey before the Predators ran out the clock to seal the victory.

PREDATORS TIE FRANCHISE RECORD FOR WINS
WITH VICTORY OVER PORTLAND STEEL
Wide receiver Brandon Thompkins scored three second-half touchdowns to lift the
Orlando Predators (12-2) to a 47-41 road victory over the Portland Steel (1-12) on
Saturday night. The win marks Orlando’s 12th of the season, tying a record that has
only been achieved twice in franchise history (2003, 2015).
Thompkins hauled in 12 receptions for 123 yards and four touchdowns in the game,
including all three Predators scores in the third and fourth quarter. QB Bernard Morris
completed 21-of-34 passes for 257 yards with six touchdowns and one interception.
WR Greg Carr added seven catches for 101 yards and two scores.
The Predators forced two turnovers on downs and DB Paul Stephens added an
interception as the defense posted three stops on the night. DB Varmah Sonie led all
defenders with 9.5 total tackles.
Thompkins came up with a 12-yard touchdown grab on the game’s opening drive and
Orlando quickly built a 13-0 lead. Following a diving interception at the goal line by
Paul Stephens, Carr hauled in a 32-yard score from Morris to put the Predators up two
scores at the end of the first quarter.
Portland got on the board early in the second quarter after finding the end zone on a
seven-yard carry by FB Kevin Myers, but Orlando would mount a 27-6 advantage with
two unanswered scores. FB John Martinez capped the next drive with a two-yard
touchdown run for Orlando and the Predators would regain possession after denying
the Steel on fourth down a series later. Carr converted the turnover into points,
securing a leaping 37-yard reception in traffic for the score. WR Rashaad Carter
caught a six-yard touchdown for the Steel before the half was out, giving Orlando a 2713 lead at the midway point.
Portland managed to tie the game 27-27 beginning with a 57-yard touchdown return
by DB Shaine Boyle on the opening kickoff of the third quarter. On the ensuing drive,
Morris had his pass intercepted off the nets by Steel LB Bryce Peila and Portland
scored off a 13-yard reception by WR Nick Truesdell on the resulting drive.
Orlando broke up the tie as Thompkins snared a 13-yard touchdown pass from Morris,
but a missed PAT allowed Portland to take a 34-33 lead early in the fourth quarter off a
three-yard run by Carter.
The Predators would regain the lead as Brandon Thompkins hauled in two fourth
quarter touchdowns. Morris fired a five-yard strike to Thompkins in the end zone on the
next series to put the Predators back on top, 40-34. After the defense forced another
turnover on downs, Thompkins hauled in a 27-yard touchdown on the next play to add
to the lead, 47-34. Truesdell scored on a three-yard reception for Portland a series
later, but Orlando would run out the clock on the game’s final drive to seal the victory.

PREDATORS FALL TO ARIZONA RATTLERS, 62-45
The Orlando Predators (12-3) dropped a 62-45 decision to the Arizona Rattlers (12-3)
on the road Monday night. Despite the loss, the Predators split the season series with
the Rattlers and now own the tiebreaker over Arizona due to point differential in headto-head games. The Predators can clinch the top seed and home field advantage
throughout the postseason with a victory over the Philadelphia Soul on July 30.
QB Bernard Morris scored six total touchdowns as he completed 25-of-40 passes for
285 yards and four touchdowns while adding 57 yards and two more scores on the
ground. Brandon Thompkins hauled in a game-high 12 receptions for 141 yards and
two touchdowns, while Larry Brackins and LaMark Brown each added scoring
receptions of their own.
Morris threw two first quarter touchdown passes to give the Predators an early 14-13
lead. Arizona WR Rod Windsor caught a six-yard score on the opening drive, but a
missed PAT allowed Orlando to take a 7-6 lead on an 11-yard touchdown reception by
Brackins. WR Chase Deadder caught a three-yard score for the Rattlers a series later
and Orlando would respond as Thompkins snared a nine-yard touchdown pass to give
the Predators the lead as time expired in the quarter.
Orlando’s only drive in the second quarter resulted in an interception and the Rattlers
managed to build a 27-14 advantage at halftime after Windsor caught a five-yard
touchdown and scored on a one-yard run.
The Predators responded on the opening drive of the third as WR LaMark Brown spun
out of a tackle on his way to an 11-yard touchdown. Windsor caught an 11-yard score
on the ensuing series for the Rattlers, but Bernard Morris answered in dramatic
fashion as he scrambled out of the pocket and raced 36 yards to the end zone to cut
the deficit, 34-28.
Arizona would score on a nine-yard reception by FB Mykel Benson before Brandon
Thompkins scored on a short pass with an electric 40-yard run after the catch to make
it a one-score game in the fourth quarter, 41-35.
Two unanswered scores in the final frame by the Rattlers put the Predators in a 55-35
hole. Davila found WR Maurice Purify on a 30-yard touchdown throw and Arizona
would recover a fumble on the ensuing kickoff before scoring on a two-yard run by
Benson. Morris responded with an eight-yard touchdown run but Arizona would push
the lead to 62-42 with a 19-yard scoring reception by WR Anthony Amos.
Needing to keep the loss under 18 points in order to maintain the tiebreaker, the
Predators set up a field goal with five seconds on the clock and Mark Lewis
successfully booted the kick to clinch the tiebreaker.

PREDATORS FALL TO PHILADELPHIA IN REGULAR SEASON FINALE
The Orlando Predators (12-4) fell to the Philadelphia Soul (13-3) in the finale of the
2016 regular season. Orlando finishes the season as the No. 2 seed in the American
Conference and will host the Jacksonville Sharks in the opening round of the
postseason on Saturday, August 6.
Bernard Morris threw for 333 yards and six touchdowns with one interception on the
night, adding 17 yards and another score on the ground. Larry Brackins hauled in a
game-high 11 passes for 114 yards and four touchdowns, while Brandon Thompkins
snared six receptions for 139 yards and another score. LaMark Brown also caught a
28-yard touchdown pass as he totaled five receptions for 67 yards.
The Predators battled to a 14-14 tie midway through the second quarter as the two
teams traded scores. Morris eluded a defender on his way to a six-yard touchdown run
before tossing a seven-yard score to Brackins. Dan Raudabaugh threw two touchdown
passes for the Soul, connecting with Chris Duvalt from 32 yards out and Lonnie Outlaw
on an eight-yard throw.
Orlando would take its first lead of the night midway through the second quarter.
Defensive end Monte Lewis blocked Philadelphia’s PAT attempt following a 17-yard
scoring reception by Shaun Kauleinamoku and the Predators went ahead 21-20 as
Brackins hauled in a two-yard touchdown pass a series later.
Duvalt caught a 32-yard score to regain the lead for Philadelphia but the PAT resulted
in another miss. The Soul attempted an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff and after
bouncing off of multiple players, Calvin Fance recovered the loose ball in the end zone
to give the Predators a 28-26 lead.
Fance wasn’t done making his presence felt on special teams, however. Moments
later, the veteran defensive end recovered the Predators’ onside kick attempt to regain
possession and set up a 25-yard field goal by Mark Lewis to increase the lead, 31-26.
The Soul would take a 33-31 lead at halftime following a 14-yard touchdown reception
by Darius Reynolds with seven seconds remaining on the clock.
Morris was intercepted on the opening drive of the third frame and the Soul went
ahead 40-31 on the resulting series off a 27-yard touchdown catch by Duvalt. Morris
shook off the pick and tossed an 18-yard touchdown to Brackins before Raudabaugh
responded with a 27-yard scoring completion to Kauleinamoku to give the Soul a 4738 lead at the end of the third.
Morris cut the deficit early in the fourth quarter, hooking up with Brackins for a fourth
time on a 12-yard touchdown. Philadelphia answered with a 35-yard scoring reception
by Duvalt, but Terrance Taylor blocked the PAT attempt for Orlando. On the next play
from scrimmage, Morris launched a deep 40-yard score to Brandon Thompkins and
the Predators tied it 53-53 after recording a safety on the two-point conversion.
Kauleinamoku caught a 31-yard touchdown a drive later and the Predators matched
the score as LaMark Brown broke through a would-be tackler on his way to a 28-yard
score. However, a miss on the PAT left the Predators trailing 60-59 at the one-minute
warning. Philadelphia would score a final time off a 14-yard reception by Reynolds as
the Predators fell, 67-59.
