Auburn alumnus Sal Cannella has been selected to the All-UFL team for the 2025 season.

The Arlington Renegades tight end had 44 receptions for 474 yards and one touchdown during the 10-game season. Cannella ranked second in receptions and sixth in receiving yards in the United Football League for the 2025 campaign.

This is Cannella’s second all-star honor since he closed his Auburn career with a 37-yard touchdown on a pass from quarterback Bo Nix against Minnesota in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1, 2020. Cannella earned All-USFL recognition with the New Orleans Breakers in that league’s Birmingham-based revival in 2022.

In 2023, Cannella played with Arlington in the XFL’s comeback season. In the Renegades’ 35-26 victory over the D.C. Defenders in the XFL Championship Game, Cannella had four receptions for 71 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown catch.

Cannella returned to the Renegades in 2024, but now as a United Football League team after the merger of the USFL and the XFL. Cannella led the UFL with six touchdown receptions in 2024. He finished third in the league with 53 receptions and fifth with 497 receiving yards.

Cannella also has been on the rosters of the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL.

The United Football League released its all-league team on Monday. The All-UFL Team was chosen by a panel of league and team executives, coaches and players from the eight teams and broadcast partners.
