Former Notre Dame QB Sam Hartman gets selected in UFL draft
It’s a pipe dream for the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL and quarterback Sam Hartman. The former Notre Dame star is currently rostered by the Washington Commanders, but that didn’t stop the back-to-back-to-back champions from selecting him in the 9th round of their draft. It may seem a bit low considering the talent in the league, and that’s Hartman is currently with an NFL team. However, taking a shot at a player of his caliber in that round makes perfect sense. Most likely players taken that late won’t even make a roster, so drafting a potential big-time prospect is a solid move. With our 9th pick in the 2024 UFL College Draft, we’ve selected QB Sam Hartman! #GiddyUp🐎 pic.twitter.com/JBPXTLHrR0 — B2B2B CHAMPION STALLIONS 🏆🏆🏆 (@USFLStallions) July 17, 2024 Hartman now has options if it doesn’t work out with the Commanders, he knows he’ll continue to play football.
