The United Football League announced its 2025 All-UFL Team. Chris Rowland, a former star at Tennessee State, is currently playing for the DC Defenders and was selected for the 2025 All-UFL Team as a wide receiver and return specialist. He also has been named a nominee for the 2025 UFL Sportsman of the Year Award.
Rowland recorded 42 receptions for 522 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games played, including his first career passing touchdown during the 2025 season.
“One thing about Chris Rowland, his energy doesn’t change on or off the field,” Defenders head coach Shannon Harris (Tennessee State alum) said. “His work ethic is elite, and he has the biggest heart. The way he cares about his teammates and everyone within our organization is amazing. He’s one of the greatest people I’ve had the honor to work with.”
According to the UFL, “The All-UFL Team was selected by a panel of league and team executives, coaches and players from all eight teams and broadcast partners. Selections were based on player performances throughout the recently concluded 10-game regular season.”
