Where Every 2026 UFL Star Played In College, Who Headlines Each Roster

Dillon Newton-Short - Hot topic this spring Newton-Short has stood out consistently in spring ball, per Virginia Cavaliers on SI.

Impact Newton-Short caught just three passes for 39 yards as a freshman with Virginia, but the wideout appears to be poised for a much larger role in 2026.

College Football Offseason Buzz: Syracuse, Wake Forest to Play ACC Game in Toronto

Peyton Lewis - Deemed 'most complete package' Lewis has been labeled as the "most complete package" in Virginia's running back room by head coach Tony Elliot, per Preston Willet of The Sabre.

Impact Lewis spent the previous two seasons at Tennessee. In 2025, he ran for 290 yards and seven scores on 70 carries. He appears primed to be an all-purpose back for the Cavaliers, and this high praise from his head coach should preface a big role this fall.

Rico Flores Jr. - Draws start in spring game Flores (calf) drew a start in Virginia's spring game, Jacquie Franciulli of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Flores drawing a start in Virginia's spring game indicates that his previously injured calf is no longer an issue. The wide receiver has proven experience from Notre Dame and UCLA, having logged at least 175 receiving yards in each of his three seasons for either the Fighting Irish or Bruins.

Dakota Twitty - Lock for TE1 role Twitty (leg) flashed in Virginia's spring game and is set to be the starting tight end again this upcoming season, Jackson Caudell of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Twitty underwent surgery for a leg injury last season and missed the final eight games for the Cavaliers, but he appears to be back to health as the 2026 season creeps up. The 6-foot-5 tight end also appears to be a lock for the TE1 role, which was his prior to the season-ender last year. He'll aim to expand on a 2025 career-high of 11 catches for 129 yards in his final year of college eligibility.

Noah Vaughn - Participating in spring ball Vaughn (ankle) is participating and impressing Virginia's coaching staff in spring ball, per Jeff White of VirginiaSports.com.

Impact Vaughn looks to be back from his ankle injury and making a mark as spring ball is underway for the Cavaliers. The 5-foot-9 running back will now be able to focus on battling for a meaningful role in the backfield, but he'll have much more work to do in the rest of the spring and into fall camp kicking off.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Xavier Brown - Not full participant in spring camp Brown (foot) is not a full participant in spring camp, according to Virginia's team website.

Impact Brown was ruled out for the 2025 season by late-October, so the fact that he is still not 100 percent after six months shows just how severe his foot injury has been. It remains to be seen whether or not he will compete in Virginia's spring game come Saturday.

Chandler Morris - Suing for extra year of eligibility Morris has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in an attempt to gain another year of eligibility and play in 2026, On3 reports.

Impact Morris tried to receive a medical redshirt from a previous season this offseason to obtain a seventh year of eligibility, but was denied by the NCAA. Now, he's taking legal action against the NCAA in hopes of playing in 2026. While it's uncertain how strong a case he has, Morris' possible return could cause some waves in the ACC. Virginia signed Missouri transfer Beau Pribula out of the transfer portal, likely to be QB1. Interestingly, Morris' father is now Clemson's offensive coordinator, and the Tigers don't have a surefire starter at this point.
