Never heard of Frostburg State and it’s not in a state that I’d expect.

Since you mentioned Frostburg St, I was looking at the colleges listed. (I don't have an X account so can only see 17 of the 20, but..) For whatever it's worth, the players seem to have geographically concentrated collegiate backgrounds. Lot of Virginia & Maryland college players, and other Border South/southeastern players.
Out of the 17 schools I can see, only one west or midwest alumni and just BC from New England.
Wonder if they hosted an open tryout in the southeast(?)

I believe it was the Alma Mater of the legendary Gus Frerotte

Upon further investigation, it was not

Most of the players on that list are players returning from 2023 who hadn’t signed their contracts for this year yet. They did tryouts all over the country last summer

Deondre Francois surfaced?

Deondre Francois surfaced?

He played in the XFL last year for the Guardians and was selected by DC in the dispersal draft, honestly kinda surprised a team took him this year because he wasn’t very good last year

Sorry to see Max Borghi retiring from the UFL.
I couldn't glean from the reporting if he's still gonna pursue pro football (elsewhere)..or if he's completely leaving playing. Still a young guy..

Seems like he's done with football entirely
