The 2025 United Football League (UFL) season has kicked off, showcasing former Nebraska Cornhuskers players aiming to cement their professional football careers in a revamped league. The UFL emerged from the merger of the XFL and USFL, forming two conferences named after these leagues.

Seven former Huskers are set to make their mark across six teams: the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers, Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, San Antonio Brahmas, and St. Louis Battlehawks. Notably, Adrian Martinez, the inaugural league MVP last season, has since joined the New York Jets. Other Cornhuskers like Matt Farniok (Arlington Renegades) and Carlos Davis (Birmingham Stallions) continue to push for success in the UFL.
