Overview
- UFL Communications announced that Houston signed John Rhys Plumlee as a quarterback, confirming a return to his college position.
- Houston’s move follows injuries to starting quarterback Nolan Henderson and earlier starter Hunter Dekkers, leaving the 2-4 team short under center.
- The Steelers released Plumlee on April 28 after using him at wide receiver, ending his latest NFL stint without a shot to play quarterback.
- Plumlee entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and previously spent time with the Jaguars and Seahawks.
- The former Ole Miss and UCF dual-threat passed for 2,271 yards and 15 touchdowns as a UCF senior, and the UFL now offers him game reps that can keep him on NFL radars.
