RAGE ADD LINEBACKER THROUGH P.A.S.S. POOL
Feb. 22, 2001

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Looking to shore up its defense after losing defensive tackle Ken Anderson to a knee injury in game two, the Orlando Rage claimed linebacker Kevin Jefferson from the XFL Player Allocation and Selection System pool on Wednesday afternoon.

Jefferson, who went to camp with the San Francisco Demons in January, played for Rage Head Coach Galen Hall as a member of the NFL-Europe’s Rhein Fire 1998 championship team.

Prior to his year in NFL Europe, Jefferson became the youngest NFL performer in 30 years, when he debuted at age 20 with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1994. That year he played in five games, recording five tackles on special teams after being signed as a rookie free agent. Jefferson would go on to play in all 16 games in 1995.

A four-year starter at Lehigh University, Jefferson brings the reputation as being a highly intelligent player after majoring in mechanical engineering in college.

The Rage put their 3-0 record on the line this Saturday, facing the 2-1 Birmingham Thunderbolts at the Citrus Bowl. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. Tickets are available by calling TICKETMASTER at 407-839-3900 or visiting the Rage box office at 450 South Orange Ave. Tickets will also be available at the Citrus Bowl on game day.
