On January 27th all eight teams in the XFL released their 52 man rosters. Here is a breakdown of the Wildcat’s roster.
Surprises:
KD Cannon: KD Cannon was a standout in college scoring 27 TD’s and accumulating 3,113 yards in his 3 years at Baylor. Cannon was projected to be one of Josh Johnson’s top targets so the fact that Cannon did not make the 52 man roster is puzzling. Expect another team or Team 9 (the XFL’s practice squad) to scoop Cannon up.
Shawn Oakman: Although the signing of Oakman was just confirmed when the roster was released, Konnor Fulk of XFL News Hub broke this news earlier in the week. This is surprising news as Oakman was actually drafted by the Wildcats but cut during minicamp. Oakman is an absolute beast and is going to be a leader of the defense.
Projected Starters:
Offense:
QB: Josh Johnson
RB: Dujuan Harris/ Elijah Hood
WR: Nelson Spruce/ Tre McBride/ Jordan Smallwood/ Saeed Blacknall
TE: Brandon Barnes
OT: Jaelin Robinson/Storm Norton
C: Patrick Vahe or Kahlil McKenzie
OG: Nico Siragusa/ Fred Lauina
Defense:
DE: Shawn Oakman/ Cedric Reed or Roderick Henderson
DT: Boogie Roberts/Brady Latarius
OLB: Willie Mays/ Anthony Johnson
ILB: Tre’ Williams
CB: Jack Tocho/ Arrion Springs/ Jayle Dunlap
S: LaDarius Wiley/ Ahmad Dixon
Special Teams:
K: Nick Novak
P: Colton Schmidt
LS: Ryan Navarro
