After the first week of training camp for the 2026 UFL season, the Orlando Storm‘s roster has already seen a few changes. Coming into camp, the Storm carried a 64-man roster and by the end of camp they will need to cut the roster down to 50 players. However, some players have already made the decision to cut themselves as outside linebacker Grayson Murphy and running back Lawrance Toafili decided to retire from professional football before playing a down in the UFL.

Those players choosing to remove themselves from the Orlando Storm’s 2026 roster opened the door for the Storm to add another potential playmaker. Orlando has made the move to add former San Antonio Brahmas standout edge rusher Delontae Scott. The decision to add Scott was announced by a press release by the UFL on their X account.

The connection between the Orlando Storm and defensive end Delontae Scott already exists as the Storm are a reincarnation of the San Antonio Brahmas. While Scott has played with the Brahmas in the XFL and the UFL and with the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL, Scott’s most productive seasons as have come with the Brahmas. During the 2025 UFL season, Scott played in 3 games for the Birmingham Stallions, however his edge rusher skill did not translate well to playing in a 4-man defensive front which resulted in Scott recording only 3 solo tackles and 3 assists.

In contrast, when Scott played for the Brahmas defense Scott primarily played as a standup edge rusher in the Brahmas 3-man defensive front. That allowed Scott to use his athleticism to set up pass blockers which allowed him to excel as a pass rusher in the XFL in 2023 and the UFL in 2024. During Scott’s 2023 XFL season, Scott recorded 18 solo tackles, 18 assists, and 7.5 quarterback sacks while only playing in 8 games. That performance was good enough for Scott to be selected as a 2023 All-XFL performer.

The 6’5″, 246-pound Scott joins the Orlando Storm’s roster with a prototypical build for an elite pass rusher in the UFL. In addition, Scott has been a successful edge rusher in the UFL during his career due to his outstanding technique and athleticism. However, Scott does not have the explosive speed out of a traditional defensive end position which is why he struggled to match his production from his San Antonio portion of his career while playing for the Birmingham Stallions. Orlando is expected to utilize a 3-man front defensively due to Anthony Becht and defensive coordinator Donnie Abraham while leading the Saint Louis Battlehawks defense for 3 seasons.
