The demise of the Arena Football League has greatly benefited the National Arena Leagues West Virginia Roughriders. The franchise is joining the league this season having spent 2019 in the American Arena League. The team,formerly known as the Richmond Roughriders,has won two American Arena League championships,it has a great deal of talent and it recently got better.
Arbil Nelson,who played with the team during its Richmond stay, signed with the team last week. Nelson is a veteran of the Arena Football League with Cleveland and Washington. He won a championship with the Valor teaming with a core group of players that came together down the stretch of the 2018 season. The team didn’t stop with the addition of Nelson. Darius Prince, a mainstay of the Philadelphia Soul championship teams for years and 2017 league MVP agreed to terms with the franchise. Prince was Soul Quaterback Dan Radbaughs favorite target and the two hooked up many times for large portions of the Souls offense. In West Virginia, Prince figures to hook up often with Nelson many times and provide the Riders with a tandem that will make opposing defenses think twice in 2020.
