As the Battlehawks prepare for their matchup against the Louisville Kings for the 2026 UFL playoffs, the league announced their All-UFL selections with seven Battlehawks earning the honor for this past regular season. Four Battlehawks have earned their first All-League honors, with Center Mike Panasiuk earning his fourth selection, Carlos Davis earning his 2nd, and Hakeem Butler earning his 3rd.
Hakeem Butler Wide Receiver
Butler has been one of the UFL (and spring football) most dominate receivers once again leading the league in receiving yards in 2026. He's earned multiple post season awards along with two NFL opportunities from his time with the Battlehawks, and in 2026 has been a major piece in their run to the post season. Butler has recorded over 2,000 receiving yards, and 20 touchdowns in his career, enroute to earning his 3rd All-League selection since 2023.
Tyler Neville Tight End
Neville was one of the leagues more efficient Tight Ends before an injury cut his 2026 season short. He recorded four touchdowns in eight games while emerging as a key piece on the Battlehawks special teams unit. If Neville's foot injury isn't serious he should be able to earn some NFL interest moving forward.
Mike Panasiuk Center
A fourth year Battlehawk, and 4th year All-League selection, Panasiuk has been a figure of stability along with a consistent piece for St. Louis since 2023. Panasiuk assisted in leading an offensive line that earned the UFL's second best offense in yards, while paving the way for Jarveon Howard who was one of the league's top running backs. Panasiuk has also earned NFL contracts the past two seasons as well.
Carlos Davis Defensive Line
Davis was an All-UFL selection in 2024 with the Birmingham Stallions and posted 5.5 sacks for St. Louis assisting a unit that recorded over 30 sacks through 10 regular season games. He also assisted in the Battlehawks run defense which allowed 82.8 rushing yards a game which was the best in the 2026 UFL season.
Ryan Sanborn Punter
Sanborn served as the Battlehwks Punter, Kickoff Specialist, Holder, and even Kicker due to a pre-game injury to Tucker McCann. Sanborn totaled 31 punts for 1,356 yards (43.7 average), while recording almost 10 tackles and 11 punts inside the 20.
Sean Fresch Punt Returner
In addition to his success as a Nickel, Fresch also was a weapon for St. Louis in their special teams room. Fresch led the league in punt return yards, averaging 10.6 yards a return, while also serving in multiple special teams capacities.
Gary Jennings Jr. Core Specialist
Jennings was a jack of all trades in regard to be an asset on special teams. In addition to him assisting on offense with 98 yards from scrimmage, Jennings recorded 441 kick return yards (5th best) while recording 16 tackles on special teams as well, narrowly edging out Jerome Kapp for best in the UFL.
The Battlehawks and their All-UFL selections will now get ready for their matchup against the Louisville Kings this Sunday in St. Louis.
