Did you think we only covered the NBA Draft? Think again.
This week, the UFL hosted the 2024 UFL College Draft. In this league, there are only eight teams versus 32 in leagues like the NFL and NBA. Let’s break down the draft and who’s going to adorn the yellow + black in 2025.
Draft details
This draft is a little different than the major league sports ones. Each team in the UFL selects 10 players. Here’s how the player eligibility works:
- Players must have been eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft and were not selected.
- Each team holds exclusive rights to the players selected until the player reports to the team.
- All players must have been out of high school for at least three years and exhausted or waived their college eligibility.
