Estero, FL- The Florida Firecats announced today the additions of former University of Miami kicker Jon Peattie and the return of the Firecats single season sack leader defensive lineman Tyronn Johnson.
 
Jon Peattie finished his career in Coral Gables as the ‘Canes 2nd leading scorer in school history with 336 points. In four years as Miami’s starter he connected on 64 field goal attempts and added 144 PAT’s. After a redshirt freshman season in 2002, Jon converted 99 consecutive extra points before his first miss in 2005, which was the second-longest streak in school history.
 
“I talked with Jon a few weeks back about coming in and playing for us,” said Firecats coach Kevin Bouis. “We get one of the most consistent kickers in Miami’s history and he gets some experience that could help him move up to the next level in 2008. Adding Jon should give us a big boost in our kicking game.”
