Orlando Storm News Release


ORLANDO - March 23, 2025 - The Orlando Storm today announced its inaugural 50-man roster marking the beginning of its historic 2026 UFL season. The team concluded its final practice of training camp last week and made roster decisions through the weekend.

"From the first day of training camp, we set a high standard to create a unique team that reflects the city of Orlando," said Head Coach Anthony Becht. "It was important to build this roster with a mixture of talented, extremely dedicated, and competitive players who define Orlando Storm football. This group understands the expectations of this historic season and is focused on building this franchise and creating a winning legacy our fans can be proud of."

The Storm will enter the 2026 season with three players who earned All-UFL honors following the 2025 season including wide receiver Chris Rowland, linebacker Tavante Beckett, and last season's league-leading rusher, running back Jashaun Corbin.
