Building for Season X continues. 🏈

The National Arena League is proud to announce Steven Shotola as the new Director of NAL Life as the league continues building its front office and programs for Season X.

Shotola will take over leadership of NAL Life, building upon the foundation established under the program’s previous director while working to expand its reach, impact, and role throughout the National Arena League.

NAL Life was created to focus on the people and stories that extend beyond the field, and under Shotola’s leadership, the league will look for new ways to grow the program, strengthen its connection with players and communities, and further develop what NAL Life can become.

As Director, Shotola will be tasked with moving the program forward while continuing the work and vision that helped establish NAL Life within the league.

New leadership. The next chapter of NAL Life.

And there’s more to come as we continue Building for Season X.

THE NEXT GENERATION 🏈

Bandits Legend Fred Jackson may have retired from the game, but the legacy he built both here in Sioux City and in Buffalo lives on.

After leaving his mark on the Bandits, Fred went on to become the third-leading rusher in Buffalo Bills history, cementing himself as one of the greats to ever wear the red, white and blue.

Now, it’s time for the next generation of Jackson to take the reins.

Fred’s son, Braeden Jackson, is a running back for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and we can’t wait to watch him rise through the ranks at Kinnick and see what kind of legacy he creates for himself.

One generation left its mark.
Now it’s Braeden’s turn.

Once a Bandit, always a Bandit.
