BATTLEHAWKS ADD QB WILKINS TO ROSTER

The St. Louis Battlehawks announced the addition of former Green Bay Packer quarterback Manny Wilkins to the team. The move completes the Battlehawks 51-player roster.

The fifth all-time leading passer in Arizona State history, Wilkins threw for over 8600 yards and rushed for over 1000 yards with 62 total touchdowns for the Sun Devils. Signed as a rookie free agent in 2019, Wilkins spent the entire season on the Green Bay Packers practice squad.

“We are excited to add Manny as a complement to our quarterback corps,” said Head Coach Anthony Becht. “He’s been on our radar going back to the summer showcase in Arizona and we also had him in for our private workout in October. Manny brings a lot of professional experience and has the ability to impact a game with both his arm and on the ground.”

Wilkins will wear #5 for the Battlehawks.

The Battlehawks begin their season on Sunday, February 19, when the team travels to San Antonio to battle the Brahmas at 6pm CT on ABC. The team will play two more road games before returning to St. Louis for its home opener on Sunday, March 12 at 2pm CT to face the Arlington Renegades at The Dome at America’s Center.
