Carterville native Luke Ford is getting another shot at a professional football career. Ford was picked up by the San Antonio Brahmas on Tuesday.
We have claimed the rights to the following undrafted rookies:
Luke Ford WR, Illinois
Micahh Smith DB, Incarnate Word
Nazier Wright LB, William Paterson #XFLRookie | #ToroSiempre— San Antonio Brahmas (@XFLBrahmas) June 20, 2023
Ford was a star for the Carterville Loins as a tight end and continued down that path in college at Georgia and Illinois. Interestingly, Ford is listed as a wide receiver on the Brahmas’ transaction report.
The Brahmas finished with a 3-7 record in 2023.
