January 8th, 2024. With five of the USFL clubs "suspended" as a result of the XFL/USFL merger which resulted in the formation of the UFL, the Stallions had an opportunity to add some talent.
The team chose the group below from the USFL teams that would not participate in 2024. They could claim up to 20 players but stopped selecting after these 11.
Calvin Ashley OL New Jersey Generals (all-star in '23 at OG)
Marcus Baugh TE New Orleans Breakers
Chris Blewitt PK Pittsburgh Maulers
Cam Carter OL New Jersey Generals
Daniel Isom DB Philadelphia StarsHercules Mata'afa DE New Jersey Generals
Chris Orr LB New Jersey Generals (all-star in '23)
Anree Saint-Amour DE New Orleans Breakers
Channing Stribling DB Philadelphia Stars
Eli Walker DB Pittsburgh Maulers
James Wiggins DB New Orleans Breakers
January 15th, 2024. Teams had the ability to protect up to 42 players from their roster. All unprotected players and those unclaimed in the earlier draft, were available for selection.
The Stallion draft was a mix of new blood and their own returning unprotected players. From the list below, Jalen Morton, Ryan Langam, Jamir Ross-Johnson, Bo Scarbrough, Zaquandre White, Bobby Holly and Myron Mitchell all have some history with Birmingham.
Coleman, the team's first selection, started 12 games at right tackle at UMass in 2018 and an additional 12 at left tackle in 2019. He was a 7th-round draft selection of the Miami Dolphins in 2021.
