Birmingham Stallions | OL Preston Wilson
Preston Wilson is back. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy was with Birmingham in camp, but didn’t make the final cuts due to a very competitive room in the trenches.
During his collegiate career, Preston was a stud. He earned First Team Academic All-Big 12 honors every single season as a Cowboy. Wilson started in 24 consecutive games to close out his career at Oklahoma State. He saw quite a bit of growth throughout his Cowboys tenure, earning a top 12 PFF grade in the Big 12 in 2023. He did not allow a single sack in 2023.
The Vikings Can Mine the UFL To Round Out Their Roster | By Zac Scholl - March 26, 2026
Mike Panasiuk (C, St. Louis Battlehawks)
First, we have a player who could fill arguably Minnesota’s biggest need right now, which is center. With Ryan Kelly retiring this offseason and Blake Brandel ideally filling the role as the do-it-all backup offensive lineman, the Vikings need a true center. That’s where Mike Panasiuk can help out as a three-time All-UFL performer for the St. Louis Battlehawks.
Panasiuk has a fascinating football backstory: He was an All-Big Ten defensive lineman at Michigan State before transitioning to the offensive side of the ball. Since then, all Panasiuk has done is rack up accolades and lead one of the most consistent offensive lines in the UFL.
His success has caught the attention of teams in back-to-back offseasons. The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints have signed him to offseason spots in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Still only 28 years old, Panasiuk can offer a ton of value to teams. The Vikings should be the first in line to evaluate him, given their needs and current outlook at the position @NewsUFL@AaronWilson_NFL #NFL #NFLDRAFT @MikePanasiuk@Vikings
The Anchors: Top 10 Offensive Linemen in the UFL

3. Mike Panasiuk (C) | St. Louis Battlehawks
Status:Active – Three-time All-League selection (2023–2025).
Mike Panasiuk continues to dominate the interior of the UFL as arguably the best center in the league. A former Michigan State standout, Panasiuk transitioned from defensive tackle in college to offensive center in professional football—a move that has paid enormous dividends for the Battlehawks.
Now a three-time All-League selection, Panasiuk has become the heartbeat of St. Louis’ offensive line. His ability to read defensive fronts and make pre-snap adjustments gives the Battlehawks a huge advantage when facing complex defensive schemes. Few players in the league possess his football IQ or command of the line of scrimmage.
Panasiuk’s physicality in the run game also sets him apart. He consistently creates interior movement that allows the Battlehawks’ rushing attack to thrive. Combined with elite pass protection skills and leadership, Panasiuk has earned a reputation as one of the most complete centers in spring football.

XL Sports Client C Mike Panasiuk | St. Louis Battlehawks
After an NFL opportunity with the New Orleans Saints, Mike Panasiuk has officially returned to St. Louis.
Panasiuk has been with St. Louis the last couple of years. This season in the UFL, he earned All-UFL honors once again as one of the top O-Lineman in the league. He had a strong 73.1 Run Blocking Grade (69.8 Pass Blocking) including the playoffs.
Panasiuk was a key piece to this St. Louis offense that saw a lot of rushing success. They set a UFL record for rushing yards in week one, and RB Jacob Saylors earned All-UFL honors in 2025 for a second straight year.
Mike Panasiuk is a player who has a unique story – which is a staple for spring football athletes. Mike was a defensive lineman, but made the move to the offensive line with St. Louis. He ended up starting all ten games for the Battlehawks in the 2023 season at center, earning All-XFL honors that season.
Over the last two years in the UFL, Mike has earned All-UFL honors – serving as arguably the top center in spring football. Having him back in Battlehawk Blue is fantastic news for this unit heading towards 2026.
