Phantoms Ring Of Honor: This honor has been bestowed on two men:

Leron Hall, a Phantom since 2010, stands 5'5 and weighs 135 pounds. The dynamo has surprised many who make conclusions based on his size, excelling at running back and wide receiver. He has returned punts and kicks as part of special teams and filled in when needed at the CB spot on defense, compiling some interceptions at the position. Hall is a three-time Phantoms all star, two-time league champion and five-time Florida Bowl Champion

Bradley White has eight years with the team and will go down in history as the superlative offensive lineman for the squad. He has played every position on the offensive line and is a two-time all star, two-time league champion and six-time Florida Bowl Champion.
