BattleHawks Classic

Focused on preserving the history of the St. Louis BattleHawks. Statistics, historical anecdotes & forgotten players from the past. 2020-present.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@Rustyspooge BattleHawks are also 11-1 at home since the merger, 16-3 all-time. So they don’t really lose at home very often to anyone.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

50% of the BattleHawks’ losses since the UFL merger have come against the Renegades, a franchise that has never had a winning season. The other losses in that span— @ Michigan, @ Birmingham, & D.C. twice. Those 3 teams being a combined 26-14 with 2 UFL Championships since 2024.

[St. Louis Battlehawks @BattlehawksUFL]

Final.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@Rustyspooge Correct. 3-0 all-time at home, winning in 2023, 2024 & 2025.

1-3 all-time away, with the only win being the season opener in 2020.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@uflbattlehawk Worth mentioning, starting QB in each loss—

2024- Wilkins
2025- Wilkins
2026- Silvers

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

First Mizzou player to join the BatteHawks since L’Damian Washington & Marcus Lucas in 2020. Perhaps more interesting, McCann has not been rostered by a football team in almost 5 years. He went 2 for 2 on FGs during the 2021 preseason with the Titans before being released.

final additions of the #UFLDraft ⚔️

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@ScottWalther4 Kind of assuming most of these guys are retiring.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

Some notable starters I have not seen listed anywhere—

LB Willie Harvey
T Juwann Bushell-Beatty
TE Jake Sutherland
DL Freedom Akinmoladun
DL Austin Faoliu
CB Chris Payton-Jones
RB Jacob Saylors

It will be a MUCH different BattleHawks team in 2026.

Most surprising admission here is Willie Harvey. One of the most reliable & productive defenders in spring football history. 196 tackles across 3 seasons in St. Louis & has never missed a game. Huge blow for the BattleHawks defense.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

It’s pretty interesting how these organizations have developed winning or losing cultures in such a short time. There isn’t much of a talent gap between these teams, if there is one at all.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

The best story of the 2025 BattleHawks season for me was Pita Taumoepenu.

• 27 Tkls, 5 TFL, 7.5 Sacks, 3 FF, 2 FR & 1 PBU.

After an underwhelming 2024 he bounced back closer to his 2023 form & is considered a favorite to win 2025 UFL Defensive POTY.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

Willie Harvey remains the unsung hero of this franchise.

• 58 Tackles, 3 TFL, 0.5 Sacks, 1 Int, 1 FF, 3 PBU.

58 tackles was a career low but still ranks 3rd for a single-season in franchise history. Harvey also owns 1st (79) & 2nd (59) on that list.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

The biggest surprise contributor in 2025 to me was WR Frank Darby.

• 11 Receptions, 182 Yds, 2 TD (16.5 YPC)

I had him pegged as the WR7 in the preseason but he wound up playing a big role in the passing game, appearing in all 10 games. Great find by the front office.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@DonBattleHawk At one point he had 3 catches for 154 yards & 3 TD.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

Hakeem Butler had a tumultuous 2025 campaign, battling injuries & dealing with inconsistent QB play. In the moments he did touch the ball it was clear he hasn’t lost a step.

• 13 Receptions, 300 Yds, 4 TD (23.1 YPC)

Still a very respectable year all things considered.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

@KultOfKaw It’s on Sunday

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

It’s likely we’re talking about a 10-0 football team if he had been named QB1 out of camp.

[BattleHawks Classic @BHawksClassic]

Max Duggan took over as the starting QB in week 5 & the team never looked back.

• 63/110 (57.3%), 696 Yds, 4 TD, 4 INT
• 299 Yds & 5 TD on 59 Carries (5.1 YPC)

He opened up the passing game & took care of the ball much better than his predecessor.
