The United Football League (UFL) is the premier spring football platform, formed by the merger of the XFL and USFL in
2024 under the combined ownership of Redbird Capital Partners, FOX, Dany
Garcia and Dwayne Johnson. The UFL has eight teams in Arlington (TX), Birmingham (AL), Detroit (MI), Houston (
TX), Memphis (TN), San Antonio (TX), St. Louis (MO), and Washington D.C.
UFL has announced that Birmingham Stallions DE Dondrea Tillman has signed a contract with the Denver Broncos of the National Football League.
Drafted in 2022 to the Stallions, Tillman returned for his second season under head coach Skip Holtz, starting in all 10
regular season games, leading the team in sacks with four on the season (22 sack yards), good for T-10th in the league.
In the postseason, Tillman continued to be a strong defensive force, recording seven total tackles, four occurring in the
USFL Conference Championship game against Michigan. Against the Brahmas during the UFL Championship game, he
recorded three tackles and one pass deflection to help the Stallions win their third straight championship.
The Birmingham Stallions will retain Tillman’s rights should he return to the UFL.
