The St. Louis Battlehawks announced on Thursday the signings of offensive tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith and defensive tackle McKinley Williams. Despite fans eagerly awaiting news about AJ McCarron, the team continued to build its roster. The UFL confirmed the addition of Jones-Smith and Williams to the Battlehawks.
Jones-Smith is returning to St. Louis after starting eight games last season and earning a spot on the All-XFL team. Originally drafted by the Battlehawks in the 2022 XFL Draft, he departed after the season when the Washington Commanders signed him. He spent the entire year on their practice squad.
McKinley Williams, on the other hand, is a promising addition to the Battlehawks’ defensive line. Known for his strength and agility, Williams brings depth and versatility to the team. His signing is seen as a strategic move to bolster the Battlehawks’ defense ahead of the upcoming season.
These signings reflect the Battlehawks’ commitment to strengthening their roster and building a competitive team. With Jones-Smith’s proven skills and Williams’ potential, the team is looking to make significant strides in the upcoming season. Fans are hopeful that these additions, along with anticipated news about AJ McCarron, will position the Battlehawks as strong contenders in the league.
