RB Ricky Person Jr. | Birmingham Stallions
He’s back. Ricky Person Jr. was one of the elite running backs in the UFL this season, leading the entire league in rushing touchdowns (6). Ricky proved to be an integral piece to Skip Holtz’ offensive attack, splitting time with C.J. Marable and providing Birmingham with consistency and efficiency all year long.

Ricky joined the Stallions back in 2023, after an IFL stint with the Pirates. He played in four games, racking up 83 yards and a touchdown that year.

Ricky finished the year with 297 rushing yards and six scores, adding 122 receiving yards to his total tally.
