The UFL will begin Saturday after the USFL and the XFL merged to form one spring football league. There are plenty of notable players on the rosters.
The United Football League’s first season since the USFL and XFL merger will kick off Saturday with the champions from both leagues — the Birmingham Stallions and Arlington Renegades — squaring off to usher in a new era of spring football. Four teams from the USFL and four teams from the XFL joined to form the new league, which was announced by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Dany Garcia. A dispersal draft was held for the teams that were left out, and those players scattered to new teams.
Read below for notable names on UFL rosters to start the 2024 season. A.J. McCarron, St. Louis Battlehawks A.J. McCarron took the XFL by storm last season. He became the star of the league as he led the team to two comeback victories. He then went viral for revealing why he decided to play in the XFL over offers from NFL teams. 'My 6-year-old loves watching tape of me on YouTube. That’s a big reason I chose to return this way,' McCarron said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Wayne Gallman, St. Louis Battlehawks Running back Wayne Gallman made 14 starts in the NFL before he decided to take some time away from football. All of those starts came as a member of the New York Giants. In 2020, he rushed for 682 yards and two touchdowns. But the former Clemson Tigers standout didn’t find the same success in 2021 when he split time with the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons. This weekend, he finds himself back in football with the St. Louis Battlehawks.
