26 former Pac-12 players selected in USFL Draft
Utah Utes (1)
Brian Allen, CB – Birmingham Stallions
Cornerback Brian Allen has kicked around the NFL since the Pittsburgh Steelers used a fifth-round pick on him in 2017 (173rd overall). He’s appeared in at least one game for three different teams, most recently a three-game stint for Cleveland at the end of last season.
At Utah, Allen converted from wide receiver to cornerback after his first year. He started all 26 games his final two seasons and was fifth in the conference with four interceptions as a senior.

UCLA Bruins (2)
Jordan Lasley, WR – Tampa Bay Bandits
Although he was Baltimore’s fifth-round pick in 2018 (162nd overall), speedy Jordan Lasley never played a down in the NFL. He was, however, outstanding at UCLA. His senior year, Lasley led the Pac-12 with 1,264 yards on 69 catches and also had 9 touchdowns. The yardage total is also the third-highest single-season total in Bruins history.
