A familiar face is returning to lead the Dallas Renegades in 2026.
Quarterback Luis Perez will return to the Renegades after being selected in the 2026 UFL Quarterback Draft, the league announced Monday.
The former Texas A&M-Commerce quarterback has led the Renegades’ offense since 2023 when he led the team to an XFL Championship and won the title game MVP. He led the UFL in passing yards the past two seasons, passing for more than 4,600 yards in 20 games.
The Renegades also selected former Western Kentucky quarterback Austin Reed in the draft. The team will also continue to evaluate options for a third quarterback selection.

The UFL also announced selections for the College Regional Allocation. The Renegades picked former Baylor offensive lineman Sam Tecklenburg, former Texas defensive tackle Keondre Coburn and former Baylor nose tackle Siaki Ika.
The Houston Gamblers made another notable selection, taking former Texas A&M linebacker Anthony Hines III via College Regional Allocation. Former Hebron quarterback Clayton Tune also landed on the Columbus Aviators’ roster via the quarterback draft.
Neuheisel is taking over for Bob Stoops, who announced his retirement from coaching earlier in December.
Stoops steps away from the game after a championship career at the professional and collegiate levels that spanned five decades.
