Four former Colorado Buffaloes football players will be participating in the first-ever UFL playoffs. These players include wide receiver Devin Ross playing for the Michigan Panthers, and linebackers Robert Barnes, Drew Lewis, and Carson Wells playing for the San Antonio Brahmas and St. Louis Battlehawks respectively.
Devin Ross, who is the only non-linebacker among the four, has had limited playing time with the Panthers this season. He has recorded seven receptions for 112 receiving yards and has also contributed on special teams occasionally as a kick returner. Robert Barnes has seen the most playing time out of the four former Buffs, participating in all 10 of the Brahmas’ regular season games and finishing with 21 total tackles.
The St. Louis Battlehawks have two CU alumni in Drew Lewis and Carson Wells. Lewis played in only two games this season, while Wells played in nine and finished with 17 total tackles, two sacks, and a pass breakup. The Panthers will face the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL conference championship game on Saturday at 1 p.m. MT (ABC/ESPN), while the Battlehawks will host the Brahmas in the XFL conference title game on Sunday at 5 p.m. MT (Fox).
