Matt Grothe has been given a chance to play professional football near his college roots.
Grothe has been signed by the Tampa Bay Storm. Grothe was one of five players signed by the Storm on Thursday, along with Greg Gundersen, Xzavie Jackson, Colin Nelson and Tavious Polo.
He has previously been with fellow Florida teams, the Florida Tuskers (UFL) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL). He has also had a stint with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
Grothe was a standout quarterback for the University of South Florida. He is also one of the most decorated quarterbacks in Big East Conference history.
"Matt is a guy we have been keeping an eye on," said Storm head coach Dave Ewart. "We want an opportunity to work with him and see him develop. Xzavie gives us some added depth to the defensive line and more versatility to get after the quarterback. We needed to find a little more consistency in the kicking game and the defensive backfield that is what we are looking to find from Greg, Tavious and Colin."
