Twenty-two prospective players have found new Indoor Football League opportunities.
The IFL announced the results of its Player Dispersal Draft which featured the league's current six teams selecting from players on the training camp rosters of the Bloomington Edge and the West Michigan Ironmen. The announcement was made on February 8.
The two teams, which joined the IFL last fall, were barred from competing in the IFL (or any other indoor football league) in 2018 by a Woodbury County, Iowa judge last week. The judge deemed that the teams had violated agreements to remain in their former league, Champions Indoor Football. The Edge and the Ironmen are expected to re-join the IFL next season.
The order for the five-round Dispersal Draft was based on 2017 overall regular season won-loss records, with the team finishing with the worst record selecting first.
Offensive and defensive linemen led the way, with eight selections each. Others taken were three quarterbacks, two wide receivers and one defensive back. The Iowa Barnstormers passed up their selection in each of the five rounds.
The results, by team, are as follows. The selections are listed by round and overall selection, player name, position, college attended and whether they were previously with the Edge (Blm) or the Ironmen (WM).
