Dee Maggitt Jr. har allerede lavet det første touchdown som en Tiger, da han idag landede i Aarhus. Dee kommer til at indgå i trænerstaben på vores U19/U16 hold for at styrke fremtiden og derudover vil han tilføre vores seniorhold masser af erfaring som DB og returner. Dee har, foruden at være starter hos University of Hawaii gennem 3 sæsoner, haft stor succes i IFL, hvor han gennem 3 sæsoner har været udnævnt All IFL DB 2 gange, lavet 16 interceptions, 120 tacklinger og hele 11 touchdowns. Seniorholdets head coach, Jonn Mathews, har glædet sig meget til at Dee lander i Danmark. Han havde følgende at sige da han fandt ud af, at Dee ville lande i dag: I am really excited for Dee to get here. I know what he can do on the field. What I am really excited for is his impact on our youth programs. Dee has a lot of experience coaching youth players. I can’t wait for our young Tigers to grow under his leadership. Dee’s tidligere medspiller fra sin tid på Hawaii, og forhenværende Tiger, Daniel Masifilo, havde dette at sige om Dee’s danske eventyr: I’m Happy for Dee Maggitt to land a home with the Tigers! He’ll be fun to watch. Dee was a straight up ball player, technically sound and sharp as you can be on the field. As a teammate he was someone you can rely on. And as a friend, Dee was a laid back dude who was pretty chill and easy going. Definitely Embraced the aloha and Warrior spirit in Hawaii.
Vi håber I alle vil være med til at tage godt imod Dee og ønske ham velkommen til Tigerfamilien.
