Jump to Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver, Tight End positions.
Head Coach
HC | Bob Stoops Head coach at Oklahoma from 1999-2016. |
Offensive Coordinator
OC | Jeff Jagodzinski Replaced Hal Mumme as offensive coordinator on March 9th. Mumme will still serve as team’s offensive advisor. |
Quarterback
QB1 | Landry Jones Prolific Oklahoma QB was hand-picked by Stoops, but missed Week 1 due to knee injury. Played quite poorly in Week 2, but still became first XFL QB to throw for more than 300 yards. Was better in Week 3 although checked down a ton. In Week 4, Jones reinjured the same knee he hurt in the preseason and is out at least two weeks. |
QB2 | Phillip Nelson In four AAF games last season, Nelson completed just 58.4% of passes and failed to top 200 passing yards in any game. Ex-underwear model was a check-down mess in Week 1 start, completing 33 passes for just 209 yard and no TDs. Was a disaster again in Week 5, going 28-of-49 for 210 yards with no TDs and two INTs. Expected to start Week 6. |
QB3 | Brogan Roback |
QB4 | Eric Dungey |
Running Back
RB1 | Cameron Artis-Payne The thunder in Dallas’ 2-man RB committee. Over the last four weeks, Artis-Payne is averaging 11.2 carries and 5.7 targets per game. |
RB2 | Lance Dunbar Ex-Cowboy remains an excellent pass-down back. Third in entire XFL with 26 catches on the season. |
RB3 | Austin Walter Handles some kick return duties. |
RB4 | Marquis Young Handles some kick return duties. |
Wide Receiver
WR1 | Jeff Badet Selected 1st round, 4th overall in XFL draft. Blazed 4.34 forty at 2018 Oklahoma Pro Day. Playing 70.5% of the snaps on the season and has mediocre 14.5% target share. ADOT also a big concern on top of Landry Jones’ injury. |
WR2 | Flynn Nagel Was go-to slot target for Northwestern in 2018, racking up 68-780-2 in 13 games. No shot at NFL given 5’11/188 frame and 4.73 Pro Day, but fits Phillip Nelson’s style well. In two games with the backup QB, Nagel has gone 7-46-0 and 6-43-0. Handles some kick return duties. |
WR3 | Joshua Crockett Leading a committee at outside receiver, has played at least 30 snaps in each of last four games. But only seen total of 11 targets during that span. |
WR4 | Jazz Ferguson Major size/speed prospect at 6’5/227 with 4.45 Combine wheels. Was a surprise scratch in Week 2, but played 18 snaps in Week 3 and 25 in Week 4. Spiked to 33 snaps in Week 5, but Phillip Nelson isn’t the right QB for him. |
WR5 | Armanti Edwards Was signed on Feb. 25, replacing Jerrod Heard on the roster. DNP in practice (hip) on Wednesday for Week 6. |
WR6 | Jerrod Heard Re-added to team with roster expansions on March 9th. |
WR7 | Levonte “Kermit” Whitfield Added with roster expansions on March 9th. Previously kick-return specialist and slot receiver for WIldcats. |
Tight End
TE1 | Donald Parham Massive 6’8/249. Caught 85 balls in 2018 for Stetson. One of XFL’s true stars so far, racking up 24-307-4 through five games. In two games with Phillip Nelson, Parham has struggled to 4-40-0 and 4-34-0. |
TE2 | Sean Price |
TE3 | Julian Allen |
TE4 | Romello Brooker Added with roster expansions on March 10th. |
