The day after that, the UFL announced that Brahmas offensive lineman Kohl Levao had signed a contract with the New York Jets. Another Brahma has an opportunity in the NFL. UFL insider James Larsen posted a tweet that reported Brahmas defensive tackle Prince Emili had signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
Emili’s impact on the Brahmas defensive line during the 2024 UFL season was nothing short of impressive. He played a pivotal role in 12 games, including the XFL Conference and UFL championship games. His performance, highlighted by 21 tackles and three quarterback sacks, is a clear testament to his readiness for the NFL. Emili, like Levao, has used the UFL as a platform to showcase his potential for the NFL level.
Getting an opportunity with the Falcons is not Emili’s first attempt to play in the NFL. In 2022, Emili played in 2 games for the Buffalo Bills, registering three tackles and a pass deflection. In 2023, Emili spent time with the New Orleans Saints as well.
The 6’2″, 300-pound defensive tackle from New York City, New York, played college football at the Ivy League level at the University of Pennsylvania. From 2017 until 2021, Emili played in 36 games for the Quakers. During his college football career, Emili registered 162 tackles and 11.5 quarterback sacks.
