IFL: Jacksonville Sharks Announce Three Signings

-

JACKSONVILLE, FL - The Sharks continue to build their roster for the 2025 season with the signings of DB Tyrese Ross, DL Tyquilo Moore and the re-signing OL Bryant Nolan Jr.

Ross (6'0, 200 lbs) has experienced a varied and remarkable college football journey, playing for three universities from 2019 to 2024. His standout season came in 2023 at Samford University, where he tallied 44 total tackles, a pass deflection, and a fumble recovery.

 Throughout his career, Ross consistently showcased his versatility and ability to adapt, having suited up for Washington State, South Carolina, and Samford. His smooth transitions between these programs, coupled with his success in different defensive systems, highlight his football intelligence and strong work ethic. At each stop, Ross emerged as a defensive leader, gaining the confidence of both his teammates and coaches. 

Moore (6'4, 285 lbs) spent his college years at Kansas State though he saw limited action on the field during that period. In 2022, he transferred to Limestone University to utilize his final two years of eligibility, and it was there that he truly came into his own as a player. 

Over the course of two seasons at Limestone, Moore made a notable impact, amassing 60 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and two sacks. Despite the limited playing time earlier in his career, he also demonstrated his versatility by contributing two pass deflections, further showcasing his all-around defensive abilities.

Nolan, a towering 6'8" and 325 pounds, played offensive line for Edward Waters University, where his imposing size and skill set made him a force to be reckoned with. He demonstrated versatility, excelling both at blocking in open space and anchoring the most critical positions on the offensive line. 

Unfortunately, Nolan's first season with the Sharks got cut short last year due to injury. The Sharks have re-signed him for the 2025 season, where he is expected to play a key role in the team's offensive success. Nolan's ability to contribute to the run-and-pass game makes him an essential asset moving forward.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
