Spokane, WA - The Spokane Shock announced today that OL John Stipek has been added to the roster and OL Isaiah Agson has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Stipek, 6-4 320, will enter his first year in the Arena Football League. Prior to his professional career, Stipek made a name for himself at Michigan State where he was a three-time letter winner. As an incoming freshman, Stipek saw action on the field as a defensive lineman (playing in four of the last five games) but was converted to the offensive line as a sophomore, lining up at the center position.

During his career as a Spartan, Stipek saw action in 26 games total and started in 16 of them.

“The Big-10 experience Stipek gained at Michigan State will make the transition into the AFL easier for him,” General Manager Ryan Rigmaiden said.  “He has good size and we are anxious to introduce him to the Arena Football League.”
