Update: Chris has since been reassigned and is now playing for the Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings for the rest of the year

Hitz Sports Management’s client Chris Merkle will be flying to Chicago to meet with Rush personnel where he is expected to be signed.   Bob McMillen the assistant head coach and line coach of  the Chicago Rush is very excited to bring him in, get a look at Chris and possibly add him to their roster.

Chris, a Defensive End, just finished an outstanding collegiate career at Montclair State University and was named a Division 3 All-American and 1st team All-Conference this past year, after recording 80 tackles and 8 sacks, which is even more impressive considering he was playing out of position at Defensive Tackle.

He will be a great addition to the 6-3 Chicago Rush, who is tied for first place in their division but currently battling through injuries, opening up opportunities for players such as Chris to come in and compete for a Championship.  One thing is certain for sure that Chris is determined to become a elite and dominate player in the AFL.

Chris will be reunited with another Hitz Sports client Clifton Smith who is also having an excellent season.  Alex Snowden who represents both players, could not be happier with seeing both of his clients on the field at once.   “I think its really something special when you have a opportunity to represent two great football players and have them both on the field at the same time together.

The Merkle family, friends and Hitz Sports staff all wish Chris much success in the
Big Windy City.

Hitz Sports.com will go a transformation this summer with it’s website, that will be unlike any Sports Management website around.

CEO – Alex Snowden is ecstatic about the changes and what it means as a business and the direction of Hitz Sports.

“Our Goal is to develop and improve on our website for the future not only for us but for our players.   I think that most players will find that coming to our website can be used as a great tool for information.  The internet has come so far and it is amazing the technology advances,  we are now able to do.   Our whole entire company knows this has been a long time coming.

I want any player or parent  that comes to our site and understand what makes us unique.   We will continue on making our website better for all of its visitors and clients.”

Alex did not comment of the specifics on the upgrade or what it will bring.
Guess we will have to wait and find that out.
