The signings just keep on coming for the Houston Roughnecks. Just this week alone, new GM Will Lewis has cleaned house – cutting 16 players, and adding over 20 more. In their latest scoop, Houston has added the following athletes:
WR T.J. Vasher
DE Cedric Wilcots II
LB Xavier Benson
S Tra Fluellen
They also signed QB Davius Richard – the HBCU star – yesterday. For a full breakdown of what he brings to the table, check out our piece from yesterday on the matter.
WR T.J. Vasher
WR T.J. Vasher has signed a Letter Of Intent with the Houston Roughnecks, per @uflanalyst.
Vasher had 173 yards & 2 TD’s with the @XFLBrahmas in 2023.

Not surprisingly, Will Lewis has brought T.J. Vasher back to a roster he’s working with. Lewis was the GM for the Brahmas during the 2023 XFL season, so it makes sense to see the two reunite.

Great start for the @XFLBrahmas, as Jack Coan fires a dart to T.J. Vasher for the score. San Antonio takes a quick 7-0 lead in Houston. #XFL | @XFL2023 pic.twitter.com/RfBzPcn2rc

T.J. Vasher had a tremendous college campaign with Texas Tech, recording over 1,900 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns. He’s a playmaker who should, without a doubt, make some noise in Training Camp this year.
DE Cedric Wilcots II
#Roughnecks have agreed to terms with former New Mexico State DE Cedric Wilcots II.
Wilcots II spent five years with the Aggies from 2015 to 2019, where he was fourth in program history in sacks made (19.5).
