Austin Wranglers News Release
AUSTIN-The Austin Wranglers announced today that they have waived quarterback Adrian McPherson.
"We felt like a change was needed at this point in the season," said Wranglers General Manager Glyn Milburn. "This was a difficult decision, but we think this choice gives us the best chance to win and earn a spot in the post-season."
McPherson (6-3, 218, Florida State), was acquired in a trade with the Utah Blaze prior to the AFL's 2007 season. Despite being the 2004 AFL Rookie of the Year, McPherson was inconsistent in his return to the indoor game this season.
Under center now for the Wranglers will be Lang Campbell (6-1, 210, William & Mary), who will assume the starting job for Austin. Chance Mock (6-2, 215, Texas), who was signed to the team's practice squad last week, will be signed to the 24-man roster and will be active as the team's second quarterback.
This Saturday, the Austin Wranglers (3-6) travel to Phoenix to play the Western Division's Arizona Rattlers (2-8) at 9 p.m. CST. Saturday's game will be televised Live on Fox Sports Net Southwest and can be heard on AM 1300 The Zone or via the Austin Wranglers Official Website at www.austinwranglers.com.
