After the painful loss to the San Jose Sabercats in the American Simulation Football Conference Championship Game, the Otters have greatly revitalised their roster through callups and free agency. With regards to the former, Orange County have called up Richard Leaking to help him grow in what was the league’s best defence last season. On the offensive side, we have called up Ultimini champion Bronko Mills to serve as a great fullback for our blocking and power running needs. These two have already had a great impact with Leaking having arguably the most important play of his young career in the comeback against the Sabercats in week two. In free agency, Orange County really shined, picking up killer free agents Rotticus Scott, Heath Evans and Brandon Booker from the Colorado Yeti, Arizona Outlaws, and Philadelphia Liberty, respectively. These signings have greatly impacted the Orange County roster and have already paid dividends for during the short time that they have been here. Booker had an incredible, franchise record setting, return against the Outlaws, taking a punt back ninety-eight yards for a touchdown in an incredibly tight game. Additionally, Evans’ return to his old team’s arena saw him have a crucial thirty-four yard reception which set up the game winning field goal. Scott secured a drive ending sack in the game against the Sabercats, which allowed momentum to remain on the Otters’ side. Ultimately, when looking at the Otters’ growth, I think that this season represents one of great synergy, and will hopefully see the Otters take that next step and go back to the Ultimus.
