December 27, 2013 - Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL) Trenton Freedom TRENTON, NJ - The Trenton Freedom Football Club have signed former Hamilton High star defensive lineman Reggie Paramoure and former Benedict College multi-sport athlete Kyle Johnson.

The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Paramoure, who earned the 2003 Fuzzy Falzone Lineman of the Year Award presented by the 12th Man TD Club, played collegiately at the University of Maine and professionally for the Arena Football League's Tulsa Talons and Philadelphia Soul, and the Albany Firebirds of Af2.

"Reggie is a high-value signing for us,'' said Freedom head coach Kevin O'Hanlon. "He can play a number of positions, and his experience will really help a first-year team.''

O'Hanlon will be able to utilize Paramoure on both the offensive and defensive line and at fullback.

Johnson brings his 6-foot-8, 326-pound frame to the Freedom. A native of Baltimore, he played both football and basketball at Benedict, located in Columbia, S.C. With PIFL experience as a member of the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, he will look for playing time at offensive tackle.
