Amidst a flurry of moves from the Michigan Panthers, they’ve officially brought back All-UFL OG Cohl Cabral to the roster. GM Steve Kazor has made it clear: he’s bringing back as many pieces of their offensive line as possible.
Cohl is a staple of this Panthers team at this point, playing with Michigan the past two UFL seasons. He had arguably his most productive year of his spring career in 2025, earning All-UFL honors with the Panthers.
Across 10 games of action, including the playoffs, Cohl allowed just one sack and 15 pressures on 577 snaps. He started at right guard in every outing, earning a 73.0 Offensive Grade via PFF.
Cohl was originally with the Birmingham Stallions, but was cut during UFL cutdowns in 2024.

It was rather strange to see Cabral released by Birmingham. He spent the 2023 season with the team, starting in all ten games that year, helping the Stallions earn a Championship title. This resulted in an NFL stint with the Arizona Cardinals, before Cabral returned to Birmingham.
While Cohl played center with the Stallions, Michigan put him at guard. With Noah Johnson playing at such a high level, Cohl found a role as a rotational guard in 2024. He rotated between left and right guard in 2024, with an impressive 71.1 Offensive Grade via PFF (65.3 Pass Block/69.8 Run Block).
This earned himself an NFL opportunity with the Dallas Cowboys, before returning to Michigan for the 2025 UFL season. Cabral is one of the top guards in the UFL, and O-Line coach Tim Holt will be thrilled to have him back to run it back in 2026.
