The USFL is a league that offers players a chance to keep pursuing their professional football dreams. From the terrible preseason injury in your rookie NFL season, to just simply getting overlooked due to being at a small school or "weak" conference, the USFL offers guys the chance to get more film or show they're 100 percent. This article is to list all smaller schools including the HBCUs represented in the league as well as NAIA/FCS/DII/DIII schools. I mostly wanted to put this together for the fans of these schools as most have a passionate fan base, and I see some questions on Twitter about which team has who.
DISCLAIMER: *This list is based on what the USFL roster on FOX sports app has listed as the players colleges*

An aspect of this list that the USFL Network would like to specifically highlight is that within this list, there are 23 players that are products of HCBU programs. Historically Black Colleges and Universities have fantastic and loyal fanbases as well as countless players that deserve their shots in professional football.
