UFL To NFL Rundown: Week Twelve Action | KaVontae Turpin

UFL To NFL Rundown: 2026 Week Three Action

It’s that time of the week again. The UFL to NFL storylines were on full display in week three – as expected. Over a dozen former spring football alumni suited up for their respective NFL teams, each making a legitimate impact.

Let’s take a look at what went down in the UFL to NFL pipeline this week.

Dallas Cowboys

WR KaVontae Turpin, Generals
CB Ameer Speed, Gamblers
K Brandon Aubrey, Stallions

The spring football stars turned Dallas Cowboys were quite active this week. Kavontae Turpin led the charge, scoring his first touchdown of the NFL’s 2026 season. Turpin had a carry for nine yards (resulting in a score), one reception for nine yards, three punt returns for 34 yards, and a kick return for 31 yards.

Brandon Aubrey scored 11 points of his own. He made three of his four field goal attempts, while knocking through two XP’s. Ameer Speed did not record any statistics.

Cleveland Browns

K Andre Szmyt, Battlehawks
LS Rex Sunahara, Brahmas

It was another busy week for Andre Szmyt. He made two field goals, alongside an XP attempt in Cleveland’s late victory over Carolina. Szmyt’s longest kick of the day was 48 yards.

Atlanta Falcons

WR Chris Blair, Defenders
DL LaCale London, Battlehawks

Chris Blair found himself back in the end zone for the first time in the NFL’s regular season. He didn’t have any catches that counted towards his stat-line, but he did record a two point conversion late in the fourth quarter. Blair also had two special teams tackles.

LaCale London continued his consistent campaign, totaling another two tackles in the win.

Detroit Lions

RB Jacob Saylors, Battlehawks
WR Tay Martin, Aviators
K Jake Bates, Panthers

Jacob Saylors’ carved out a role for himself on special teams last year, making the most of his reps in week three. He had two kick returns for an impressive 81 yards, averaging over 40 yards per return. His performance earned a game ball from HC Dan Campbell.

Jake Bates was perfect, to no one’s surprise, with four made XP’s and a field goal. Tay Martin did not record any stats, but was present for 15 special teams snaps.

Other UFL To NFL Performances

Renegades CB Jayden Price, Saints: Jayden has primarily been utilized on special teams so far this season. He had one ST tackle in the Saints close loss to Las Vegas.

Renegades DT Jalen Redmond, Vikings: Redmond may be the most active DT at the line in the entire NFL. He once again had a pass batted at the line of scrimmage, to go with a tackle and two quarterback pressures.

Stallions DE Dondrea Tillman, Broncos: Dondrea posted two tackles in Denver’s thrilling win over Los Angeles, playing 27 snaps – up from 18 a week ago.

Defenders P Daniel Whelan, Packers: Daniel was very active all night long on Thursday. He had five punts for a total of 250 yards, averaging 50 yards per punt. Four of those went inside Atlanta’s 20 yard line.

Stallions K Harrison Mevis, Rams: Mevis was on an absolute tear for the Rams on Sunday night football. He made four field goals and two XP’s, scoring 14 of the Rams’ 26 points. His long was 48 yards.

Former Renegades long snapper Christian Kuntz, Guardians long snapper Nick Muse, and Maulers long snapper Mitch Fraboni were also in action this weekend.

Once again, the UFL continues to showcase its value to the pro football ecosystem. Without the national platform they provide their athletes with, these opportunities likely wouldn’t be possible. You can stay up to date on all UFL to NFL signings with our official tracker.
