On Monday, the XFL announced the addition of quarterback Manny Wilkins to the St. Louis Battlehawks roster. Wilkins joins predicted starter AJ McCarron and backup Nick Tiano in the St. Louis squad’s quarterbacks room.
The fifth all-time leading passer in Arizona State history, Wilkins threw for over 8600 yards and rushed for over 1000 yards with 62 total touchdowns for the Sun Devils. Signed as a rookie free agent in 2019, Wilkins spent the entire season on the Green Bay Packers practice squad.
“We are excited to add Manny as a complement to our quarterback corps,” said Head Coach Anthony Becht. “He’s been on our radar going back to the summer showcase in Arizona and we also had him in for our private workout in October. Manny brings a lot of professional experience and has the ability to impact a game with both his arm and on the ground.”
