After a 1-9 record coming off a UFL championship appearance the Brahmas 2025 was met with turmoil and dysfunction that was thrust into the lap of interim HC Payton Pardee. The Brahmas leaned on Kellen Mond and Kevin Hogan that managed about 140 passing yards a game along with 5 Touchdowns through 10 games. The Brahmas have never really had a “guy” since their inception at Quarterback, “blowing it up” the past two seasons.
Since their inception in 2023 the Brahmas have rostered 15 QBs in their franchise history leaning on Jack Coan, Reid Sinnett, Quinten Dormady, Chase Garbers, Kellen Mond, and Kevin Hogan as their starters. San Antonio this year went into the season with Mond, Hogan, and Jarrett Guarantano as their trio, with Mike Hohensee, and Alan Bowman serving as reserves throughout the season.
The Brahmas passing records are mostly held by Jack Coan who is now with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders, and while continuity is more of a privilege than a right in the UFL it’s worth noting Coan didn’t even play a full 10-game season with the Brahmas in 2023. While Chase Garbers did inspire hope up until the UFL championship, the Brahmas opted to jettison him and Quinten Dormady for Kellen Mond. Coan threw for 1,471 yards and Six Touchdowns (8 games) both of which are the best in franchise history.
In 2026, San Antonio will be in forced to make several key decisions and it starts from the top. If Payton Pardee is the Brahmas HC you’d be curious to see where the franchise goes moving forward. The hope to retain Kellen Mond in an effort to resurrect his career and his “hometown” hero status maybe enough to opt the league to bring him back despite anemic play.
The Brahmas also roster Kevin Hogan, Jarrett Guarantano, and Alan Bowman as well. Hogan possesses plenty of experience and wisdom with 2026 being his age-33 season, with Guarantano receiving limited reps in 2025, and Bowman earning more screen-time as “b-roll” rather than his QB play.
As a room the Brahmas’ Quarterbacks totaled 1379 passing yards, 4 TDs and 7 INTs in 2025 between Hogan, Guarantano, and Mond which was worst in the UFL. If San Antonio hopes to return to the playoffs, they’ll need to bring in an additional arm to either push Mond or replace him in 2026. While Guarantano may be a nice piece to keep around, his services may be better utilized on another team to allow him to develop. I wouldn’t be opposed to the Brahmas keeping Alan Bowman, but if a more attractive Quarterback whose been in a Rookie Mini Camp is available like Paxton DeLuarent, it may be a better find for San Antonio and the league as whole.
