On Friday, both TE Briley Moore (DC) and P Marquette King (Arlington) re-signed to their respective franchises. The two were key pieces to their teams in 2024, and now return for another stint in the UFL.

TE Briley Moore | DC Defenders
Briley Moore has been with the DC Defenders for a couple of seasons. He was part of the team that made their Championship run in 2023, starting in four games that year. In 2023, Moore had 11 receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Moore continued to make an impact in 2024, but had his campaign shaken up due to an injury. Moore missed five games on IR, coming back in week nine – and at that point, DC had missed the playoffs already.
That said, Briley was a fantastic tight end when healthy. He had nine catches for 60 yards and a score – with his touchdown reception in week two being one of the greatest plays we saw all year long.

Moore is a versatile weapon who can block at a high level, while also being a threat in the passing game. Having him back in DC is excellent news for Von Hutchins, Reggie Barlow, and this entire Defenders organization.
