SPOKANE -- The Spokane Shock announced on Monday that defensive lineman Jerry Turner, offensive lineman/defensive lineman Clay Harrell and offensive lineman Juan Garcia were added to their 2010 roster.

Turner spent the 2009 season with the Arkansas Twisters and tallied 26 tackles including a team-leading 7.5 sacks.

Prior to joining the Twisters, Turner played the previous two seasons for the Kansas City Brigade. In 14 games with Kansas City, Turner recorded 24 tackles and three sacks.

Harrell played the last two seasons in the AFL with the Nashville Kats (2007) and the Los Angeles Avengers (2008).

As a rookie with Nashville, Harrell was converted to the offensive line and proved his versatility, starting in 15 games. In 2008, Harrell signed with the Avengers and started in 15 games as an offensive lineman (the Shock plan on using him as a defensive lineman). 

Garcia signed a free agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings after completing a decorated career at the University of Washington. The Vikings released Garcia at the end of their training camp during their final cuts.

In his final three seasons at Washington, Garcia started 37 straight games at center. After his senior season, he was invited to play in the East-West Shrine game and as a junior Garcia earned second-team all Pac-10 honors.
