Former Georgia Southern Eagle wins third straight championship with the UFL’s Stallions
STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) – For teams in any sport, winning one title is a challenge, so winning three in a row? That seems nearly impossible.
That’s exactly what the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions recently accomplished, though. And one member of the team — who’s been around for all three championships — is a familiar face in the Savannah area.
Ryan Langan attended Georgia Southern, where he was a longsnapper on the football team from 2017 to 2021. In his final season, he collected several accolades, including All-Sun Belt First Team and All-America Third Team. After school, he was just one cut away from making it to the NFL with the Chargers, but that’s when the Stallions came calling, and now he has three rings to show for his time with the team.
“I just saw an Instagram post or little thing that said ‘The only people that have done it in all of men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, football, all of the sports, is just UConn’s women’s basketball.’ So it’s definitely something for the history books, and I’m glad to be apart of it,” said Langan.
This was the first UFL Championship that Langan and the Stallions have won — the previous two being USFL titles before the merger with the XFL. But while winning is obviously the goal, the bigger picture these players have in mind is working hard enough and putting enough good film on tape in order to catch the eye of an NFL scout and get themselves back in the league.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of older folks in my life and they always tell me, you know, ‘you have the rest of your life to work.’ Just kind of still have the hopes and dreams, and not giving up on it. I believe in myself like everybody in that league believes in themselves that they can make it to the next level.”
The hope for Langan is that he’ll get a call from an NFL team in the coming weeks and be able to join their training camp next month

GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
