ACQUIRED: IP, 2025

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Mathew played WR at Eastern Michigan from 2016-’20.
  • He caught 100 passes for 1335 yards and 9 TDs in 43 contests.
  • Undrafted he’d play in The Spring League in 2020.
  • Signed with the Steelers but didn’t make the squad.
  • Signed with the Chiefs in 2022, but was later placed on IR.
  • In 2023 Mathew played for the Vegas Vipers of the XFL 23.
  • Caught 23 passes for 326 yards in 8 contests.
  • Signed with the Falcons and later Patriots in 2023 but was released.

  • After the merger of the USFL and XFL, Mathew signed with the San Antonio Brahmas.
  • Played in 4 contests, catching 3 passes for 15 yards.
  • That season he scored on a punt return to beat the eventual UFL Champion DC Defenders and help the Brahmas win their only contest of the season.
  • Sexton had 8 punt returns for 154 yards and a TD on the season.

NOTES:

Just coasted in for the win on this one. When Matt joined the Brahmas I knew they’d put him to work. His signing was a footnote- but being aware of his history as a dependable receiver on a not so hot Vegas team, that played in a terrible stadium, I knew he’d be money. I went to work creating his card with the idea just maybe I’d get it signed.

After he returned his first punt and almost broke loose, I quipped to him on Instagram that he was one step away from breaking one loose. He liked that comment and the image of his card I put up. The next week he broke loose for that TD on the PR, and the rest was history.

It seemed to line up perfectly. After the Brahmas advertised and told me that an event in SA was going to have players- I was pretty annoyed when they backed out of it. I kept the receipts and asked my ticket manager what happened. When I showed him the emails we exchanged about it, he offered me a free after game autograph signing. -I jumped on it.

After the Brahmas got trounced by the Roughnecks, I got piled into a line and shuffled down below. I was excited to see who was going to be there. 8 chairs! 8 chairs of players! -Well no. Not at all. Instead it was 3 players, hastily called over as they walked off the field. Two other players came over. They didn’t have cards, and the team didn’t provide the autograph postcard they promised in another email. Thankfully Mathew was in the group and I got his autograph on this card.

I gave him the extra I had. Clanked the plastic holder there and said, “This is for you.” He seemed very happy to have his own card and thanked me for my effort. Sometimes the expense is completely worth it for the quality, as I heard him like many players who are in shock about having their own card: “Wow, it looks so real.”

Corbin, Jashaun

CARD: Sage Artistry 2022, Score 2022
ACQUIRED: IP 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v Memphis Express
IP 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v Washington Defenders

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Jashaun Corbin is a talented RB and kick returner with a good blend of elusiveness and speed.
  • He played college ball at Texas A&M in 2018 and ’19, and Florida St from 2020-’21.
  • Over his combined college career he rushed for 1,771 yards on 320 carries, scoring 14 times.
  • He also caught 60 passes for 360 yards and 2 TDs, and moonlighted on kick returns finishing with 601 yards on 24 returns- scoring a TD.
  • Corbin went undrafted but the Giants like what they saw, so he spent the 2022 season mostly on their practice squad.
  • In 2023, the Panthers signed him, but the Giants brought him back by elevating him to the active roster.
  • Unfortunately he’d be waived with an injury designation in August of 2024.
  • The following month- the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL made their move and signed him to their RB room.
  • Corbin was buried on a talented depth chart behind John Lovett and Anthony McFarland.
  • But by the game 4 of the 2025 UFL season Corbin found himself in the starter’s role.
  • Over the last 5 games of the season, Jashaun ran for over 400 yards.
  • He’d run 9 times for 109 yards and a 57 yard TD against DC.
  • Then follow that up with a 25 carry 142 yard (TD) effort against Memphis.
  • He’d win the UFL’s rushing title in the final game at home against Arlington, and finish with 514 yards on 97 carries and 4 TDs.
  • After the 2025 UFL season concluded, he was quickly scooped up by the Atlanta Falcons.

ACCOLADES:

  • All UFL 2025
  • UFL Rushing Leader 2025

NOTES:

So I was at the San Antonio Brahmas pep rally before the season and ran into GM Mark Lillibridge. I told him about some of the moves from 2023 that I thought were very savvy, and I talked about how impressed I was with his stacked backfield. He told me that I haven’t seen anything yet and that, Jashaun Corbin is the real deal.

I went home and watched some film on Corbin and was very excited. While I didn’t see him and McFarland paired up in the backfield like I dreamed, I put Corbin’s name out there as a late draft stash move to pick up for UFL Fantasy fans. Looking back now I look like a genius.

After the Memphis game, the Brahmas began to get into the habit of exiting towards the visiting side for everything. This allowed me to get critical added exposure to players that I hadn’t seen before to get their autographs. Corbin was chief among them. He signed an Artistry card for both me and my friend Joe, however I fumbled and forgot I had his Score card with me too!

Thankfully after the Defenders finale in which he won the league rushing title, I saw him down on our end of the field. He remembered me and came over to sign the Score card and then one of the OL came over and told me the card would be worth millions because Corbin was going back to the NFL. We all had a great laugh.

Unfortunately this would be the end of my autograph collecting with the Brahmas. A new owner, Mike Repole, took control of the UFL and made changes to the league. He opted to move the teams to smaller venues and considered changing the Renegades name to the ‘Texas’ Renegades. That’s when I realized that the Brahmas were on the chopping room floor. A few weeks went by and the news was announced: The Brahmas were no more. The city of San Antonio, which I had accurately assessed in my end of year coverage of the team- didn’t have a stadium that could support the Brahmas at about 20k capacity. I’m so bummed and burned by the Brahmas leaving. It makes sense- sure. But the breakup was unexpected and bad.

Mosley, Jordan

CARD: TNT XFL 2023
ACQUIRED: IP 2025, San Antonio Brahmas v Memphis Showboats

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Jordan played DB for Maryland from 2018-’21.
  • He started 24 games, recording 201 combined tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 interception.
  • After going undrafted he’d join the XFL in 2023 playing for the Houston Roughnecks, making 39 total tackles.
  • When the Roughnecks were… restructured to the USFL Conference after the ’23 season, Mosley, like many of the former XFL Roughnecks signed with the San Antonio Brahmas.
  • Jordan started 9 games, intercepting a pass, making 72 total tackles and .5 sacks, as the team reached the UFL Championship Game.
  • He’d start all 10 games for San Antonio in 2025, adding another 66 tackles.

NOTES:

Ugh so I was at the Brahmas versus Defenders tilt, when I called out Chris Steele and looked at Jordan Mosley. I felt like a total dummy when I realized I was looking at the wrong player.

Anyway the following week after the Brahmas lost a heartbreaker to Memphis in OT, the Brahmas decided they were exiting on the visitors side of the field. I spied out Jordan and asked him to come over since I had a custom of him. He signed it, but he looked disappointed because I couldn’t find the extra I had packed for him. After I located it and gave it to him, I apologized for my mistake previously to which he said, “No problem fam,” And we both walked away presumably pretty happy.

Wade Phillips has intimated that he doesn’t understand why Jordan hasn’t gotten any sniffs from the NFL, as Mosley has been an outstanding safety over the top for the Brahmas now for two years.
