Tyler Vaughns emerged as one of the league’s most dependable receiving threats in 2025, hauling in 41 receptions for 475 yards and four touchdowns over 10 games. His consistency and playmaking ability made him a go-to target in the Renegades’ offense.

Sal Cannella continued to solidify his reputation as one of spring football’s top tight ends. A versatile and reliable option in both the passing and blocking game, Cannella totaled 44 receptions for 474 yards and a touchdown during the regular season.

Ajene Harris anchored the Renegades’ secondary with an exceptional season at cornerback. Known for his lockdown coverage and sharp instincts, Harris tied for the league lead with 12 pass breakups and led all defenders with three interceptions.
