Tampa Bay Storm veteran Lawrence Samuels will be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame of his college alma mater, the University of West Alabama, the school announced Friday.

The official induction will take place Oct. 25 during the school’s national alumni association meeting. 

Samuels was a standout receiver at the program in the early 1990s, when the school was known as Livingston. And like he has in the Arena Football League, Samuels left his imprint in UWA’s record books.

He is tied for seventh all-time in receptions at UWA with 89 for 1,426 yards, and holds two of UWA’s individual career performances with 185 yards against Albany State (third most in a game) and 182 yards against Jacksonville State (fourth most in a game), both in 1992. Samuels is also part of the seventh longest, pass play in school history, as he caught an 84-yard pass from Marty Washington in the Albany State game in 1992.

Samuels holds multiple Tampa Bay Storm records and has been a force in the AFL for the past decade. Last season, he became the first player in AFL history to surpass 1,000 receptions in a career.

Samuels is currently a free agent, but he has expressed a desire to re-sign with the Storm. The AFL free-agency contact period begins Oct. 1. Free agents cannot sign with a team until Oct. 15.
