Alumni News - Leo Still in PIFL, Now with Steelhawks

Next week, former Golden Ram kicker Shawn Leo enters his second season in the Professional Indoor Football League, but he has moved his allegiance back to Pennsylvania. After having a successful 2014 season for the Trenton Freedom, last fall he signed with the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks.

The Steelhawks open their season on Sunday, March 29 at the Erie Explosion. Lehigh Valley has their home opener on Sunday, April 12 when they host non-PIFL opponent Marion Blue Racers at the PPL Center in Allentown. The Steelhawks' regular season runs through June 13 with the top four teams in the league qualifying for the playoffs on the weekend of June 26.

With Trenton last season, Leo was fifth in the league in kick scoring with 6.8 points per game. He converted 47 of 57 PAT attempts (82.5%) which was third in the PIFL. He was 7 of 23 on field goal attempts with a long of 36 yards against goal posts that are 15 feet high and only ten feet wide. Leo is the best kicker in West Chester history and was awarded the Bill Vansant Memorial Special Teams Award the past three years.
