St. Louis Leads All-UFL Team With Seven Selections
The UFL announced its 2026 All-UFL Team on June 4, with the St. Louis Battlehawks placing seven players on the 28-man roster – the most of any club despite finishing second in the regular-season standings. The Orlando Storm and Houston Gamblers each placed five players, with all eight UFL franchises earning at least one representative.
Orlando quarterback Jack Plummer headlines the offensive selections, joined by Storm wide receiver Chris Rowland, who also earned the kick returner slot. St. Louis accounts for the tight end (Tyler Neville), center (Mike Panasiuk), and punter (Ryan Sanborn) positions, while the Battlehawks’ Hakeem Butler is one of three wide receivers named. DC Defenders running back Deon Jackson and offensive tackle Yasir Durant represent Washington on a unit that spans six of the eight clubs.
The defensive and special-teams selections spread the recognition further. Birmingham Stallions linebackers Tae Crowder and Kyahva Tezino both earned spots, while Louisville Kings edge rusher Cam Gill, defensive back Corey Mayfield Jr., and kicker Tanner Brown give the Kings three honorees. Houston’s four selections include defensive backs Major Burns and Kary Vincent Jr., guard Gareth Warren, offensive tackle Gottlieb Ayedze, and long snapper Marco Ortiz – five in total when combined with the five listed in the draft, consistent with the reported tally.
Attention now turns to the opening round of the 2026 UFL playoffs, scheduled for Sunday, with the Orlando Storm hosting the DC Defenders and the Louisville Kings traveling to face the St. Louis Battlehawks. Both games are set for 6 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app.
