ST. LOUIS, March 20, 2025 – The St. Louis Battlehawks today announced their 50-man roster to begin the 2025 UFL season. The team concluded its final practice of training camp on Wednesday.
“We’ve made great progress over the last two seasons and to take that next step, we really wanted to raise the level of competition in training camp,” said Battlehawks Head Coach Anthony Becht. “We feel like we did that throughout the roster. Our staff had some tough decisions to make, but we are very excited about the collection of talent our team has moving forward and can’t wait to kick off the season.”
The Battlehawks will enter the season with five players who earned All-UFL honors in 2024 as well as the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year Hakeem Butler and Special Teams Player of the Year Chris Garrett. Twenty-nine players return from last year’s squad, including seventeen players entering their second season in St. Louis and fourteen veterans back for their third.
The St. Louis roster includes 3 quarterbacks, 3 running backs, 7 wide receivers, 2 tight ends, 9 offensive linemen, 6 defensive linemen, 8 linebackers, 9 defensive backs, and 3 specialty players. One player is on injured reserve.
