Titans global connection
In the Sandhills Titans' inaugural season, we were blessed to have a player from Turin, Italy. Tamsir Seck -- or "Italy" as he was affectionately known by his teammates -- had played American football for a club team in Italy before coming to the Titans.
"When Tamsir first came to a tryout, I heard he was from Italy so I initially sent him over to kick some field goals," says Titans' coach Mark Shaw. "His kicking was not great, but we were all blown away when he put the pads on and could really play the game. He caught a touchdown pass in his first game."
Italy has a real passion for the game and won the respect of all his teammates. We were excited to learn that he has received an academic scholarship and an invitation to play college football at NCAA Division II Emporia State University in Kansas. We know he will have a great career and we will be following him.

Titans player participates in Punt, Pass and Kick at Carolina Panthers game
Titans player John Brown finished first in the local and regional 14- to 15-year-old Punt, Pass and Kick competitions. His results were in the top four in the state, which allowed him to advance to a national stage and particpate at a Carolina Panthers home game, where he came in third place.
He felt he could have done better and vows to return next year. His best results of the year for punt, pass and kick were 42 yards, 51 yards and 47 yards respectively (rounded for accuracy). The Titans are very proud of John and look forward to seeing him out there again next year.
