With the UFL common season coming to a detailed, there are simply three gamers to contemplate for the title of UFL MVP. However one stands above the remainder.
Here is a take a look at my up to date MVP rankings following Week 10:
3. Arlington Renegades QB Luis Perez
Arlington Renegades QB Luis Perez completed the 2025 UFL common season with 2,298 passing yards.
Week 10 stat line: 26-of-32 for 283 passing yardsWeek 10 end result: 23-6 win over San Antonio
Perez is the one quarterback to start out each recreation for his workforce this season, which isn’t any small feat in a league that’s constructed round taking part in 12 consecutive weeks with 10 of these weeks counting towards the common season.
For the second yr in a row, Perez has gained the UFL passing title. This yr, he did whereas being the one passer to finish no less than 70% of his passes.
Had the Arlington Renegades made the playoffs, Perez may’ve gained the UFL MVP for his consistency in excellence alone. Because it stands, the 2023 XFL champions enter this offseason with a .500 document however with the inspiration to push for his or her first UFL playoff look subsequent season.
2. Michigan Panthers QB Bryce Perkins
Michigan Panthers QB Bryce Perkins threw for 1,342 yards and added 269 yards on the bottom in the course of the common season.
Week 10 stat line: N/AWeek 10 end result: 19-12 loss to Houston
Regardless of lacking three video games this season, UFL coaches nonetheless opted to call Perkins to the All-UFL workforce — the one QB to obtain that honor.
With that acknowledgment, it’s clear that the Panthers wouldn’t be a postseason workforce for a second yr in a row if not for Perkins’ efforts as a backup after which a starter for Mike Nolan’s workforce. His 1,342 passing yards with 9 passing and 4 dashing touchdowns is exceptional given the pattern dimension in a league that’s outlined by its quarterback play.
Regularly, the power of that place will give a sign of the ceiling the workforce has, and Perkins’ play demonstrated that, because the Panthers are able to profitable their first UFL championship.
1. DC Defenders QB Jordan Ta’amu
DC Defenders QB Jordan Ta’amu ranked first within the UFL in passing touchdowns (17) in the course of the common season.
Week 10 stat line: N/AWeek 10 end result: 13-8 loss to St. Louis
No participant has been extra necessary to his workforce’s profitable than Ta’amu. Had he not sat out the ultimate recreation of the season, Ta’amu may’ve completed No. 1 in passing yards and touchdowns.
By way of 9 video games, Ta’amu was the one participant to throw for greater than 2,100 yards whereas averaging 13.9 yards per completion.
The Defenders didn’t end as robust as they began, however their signature wins got here early. Ta’amu led them to a Week 1 victory in opposition to the defending UFL champs, who they might meet within the UFL title recreation. Then in Week 3, he led them to a 27-15 win in opposition to the St. Louis Battlehawks in St. Louis. Little doubt, Ta’amu will keep in mind that when the Defenders and Battlehawks meet once more this weekend in St. Louis for the XFL Convention Championship.
