Two former Notre Dame athletes had their names called in the recent USFL draft but only one of them played collegiate football.
Te’Veon Coney, a Notre Dame linebacker from 2015-2018, was drafted by the Philadelphia Stars on Thursday. Coney has been an on-again off-again member of the Raiders practice squad since 2019 before being drafted by the Stars.
The other former Notre Dame athlete selected in the USFL draft was kicker Brandon Aubrey. Aubrey was a defender on the Notre Dame men’s soccer team from 2014-2017 and had 15 goals during his Fighting Irish career. Aubrey was drafted by the Birmingham Stallions on Thursday.
You can see some of Aubrey’s kicking highlights that he has posted to his personal Instagram page. He was drafted by Toronto FC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft.
The USFL will kick off on April 16 when Aubrey and the Stallions take on the New Jersey Generals.
