36 years after the league initially folded, the United States Football League returns to action this weekend in Birmingham, Alabama, and two former Utes have found their way onto the rosters of the newest iteration of spring football.
Cornerback Brian Allen, a former standout at the University of Utah, will likely see plenty of playing time as the number one rated CB in the league. Allen was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft following a breakout season with the Utes in 2016 where he recorded 35 total tackles, one sack, and four interceptions.
