Former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral has announced his return to professional football, signing with the United Football League’s (UFL) Birmingham Stallions. Corral, who previously played for the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots, expressed his enthusiasm about this new chapter, stating his desire to “finish what I started.”
Corral’s journey has been marked by resilience. After a standout career at Ole Miss, where he amassed over 8,000 passing yards and 57 touchdowns, he was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, a Lisfranc injury during the preseason sidelined him for his rookie year. He later had a brief stint with the New England Patriots in 2023 before stepping away from the NFL.
In December 2024, Corral signed with the Birmingham Stallions, marking his return to professional football. His commitment and performance during training camp led to his appointment as the team’s starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
Corral’s return to the field is highly anticipated by fans and analysts alike, who are eager to see how his leadership and skill will impact the Stallions’ performance in the UFL.
