Former Tech player selected in AFL dispersal draft

Former Virginia Tech lineman Jonathan Dunn was selected by the Tampa Bay Storm in the second round of the 2008 Arena Football League Dispersal Draft on Friday, Oct. 26th. The 22nd Arena Football season begins in March, and will be Dunn's first season with the league.

The Virginia Beach, Va., native was a second-team All-ACC selection as a senior with the Hokies in 2004, and was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2005 NFL Draft. He spent 2006 in the New York Giants organization, but never saw game action.

The dispersal draft took place because Dunn’s previous team (which he hadn’t played for yet), the Austin Wranglers, announced that they were moving to the af2, which is essentially the AFL’s minor league.
