The Power were assigned three more players today as they build their 2012 roster. Wide receiver/defensive back Ahmaad Smith comes to the Power after having a cup of coffee with the Iowa Barnstormers last season. He has spent time on the roster for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.
Smith was a finalist on the reality show “4th and Long” which aired on Spike TV. Hosted by Michael Irvin, it pitted six wide receivers and six defensive backs and they competed for a training camp roster spot with the Dallas Cowboys. He finished as the runner-up to the eventual winner, Jesse Holley.
Offensive lineman and fullback Mike Lucian will return for a second season with the Pittsburgh Power.
Lucian joined the team midway through the season last year and served as the team's fullback when Josh Rue was cut late in the season. He also saw time on the offensive line when it was hit hard by injuries late in the year.
He played his college ball at Penn State. That's more than good enough for this fan of the Blue and White. Lucian is listed as 6'3" 305 pounds and brings good size to the Power offensive line.
The Power also picked up wide receiver Carlos Suggs. He is listed as 6'5", 200 pounds. Played college ball at Mississippi. According to CFBReference.com, he had 2 catches for 19 yards in 9 games played. The only thing google searching brought up was a few YouTube links. Here's one for your enjoyment.
