Name to watch in USFL/XFL Merge: Defensive End Vaughn Taylor Jr.
In 2023, the 25 year old defensive end was with the Pittsburgh Maulers defense and would shine instantly in Defensive Coordinator Jarren Horton defense. With the Maulers being removed from the USFL/XFL Merge that leaves Taylor Jr a free agent and allows him to find a new home in the merge. Here’s a look at the 2023 season from the 6-foot-3 252 pound defensive end.
The Defensive End played in 12 games in 2023 and would record 17 total tackles along with two and a half sacks, two pass deflections, and a fumble recovery.

Karver’s Final thoughts:
The 25 year old defensive end deserves another opportunity, the 6-foot-3 defensive end plays with heart and will make an instant impact on any UFL team.
