The Jacksonville Sharks are getting ready to kick off their third season in the National Arena League – and their tenth season overall – at home this Saturday night at VyStar Veterans Arena. The team looks to improve upon last season, when they went 10-7 and lost to the eventual champion, the Carolina Cobras, in the playoffs.
They’ll do so with a roster that was ranked #1 in the league in the NAL Preseason Poll. This year’s roster is highlighted by quarterback Jonathan Bane, a standout from last year’s Maine Mammoths team, and the addition of three of the league’s top receivers: Jarmon Fortson, Devin Wilson, and Durron Neal.
