Welcome back, Michigan Panthers! Meet the 13 Michigan players on 2023 USFL rosters

As you may have heard, the United States Football League is back for Year 2 of its second iteration, with its eight teams kicking off this weekend. That includes the Michigan Panthers, who finished next-to-last in Year 1. (They won their final game to claim the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft; that was used on Michigan State offensive lineman Jarrett Horst, who doesn’t appear to have made the opening-weekend roster.)

The Panthers kick off their 2023 campaign against the Houston Gamblers in Memphis, Tennessee, at noon Sunday (NBC); their first home game — in Detroit, no less!
