This weekend, the Alliance of American Football or AAF kicks off its 10-week regular season and a trio of former Miami Hurricanes made it into the newly formed spring league.

The Orlando Apollos are home to cornerback Ladarius Gunter and defensive lineman Anthony Moten while linebacker/defensive end Tyriq McCord is on the Atlanta Legends. The two teams will square off in the league's inaugural game at 8p.m. ET on Saturday. It will be broadcast live by CBS.

Gunter, who played at UM from 2012-14, was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent back in 2015. He ended up starting 15 games in 2016 out on the boundary before being released and eventually picked up by the Carolina Panthers for a season.

Moten inked a free agent deal with the Miami Dolphins after going underrated in 2018, but was released mid-training camp after getting in an altercation with a teammate during practice. He appeared in 45 games between 2014-17 for the Hurricanes.

McCord had a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2016 after totaling 14 sacks in his four-year career in Coral Gables. He spent the 2017 season in the Canadian Football League with Hamilton Tiger-Cats and part of 2018 with the BC Lions.

The AAF's inaugural eight franchises are the Arizona Hotshots, Birmingham Iron, Memphis Express, Salt Lake Stallions, San Antonio Commanders, San Diego Fleet, Apollos and Legends. CBS Sports Network will carry one game a week for the 10-week, 40-game regular season.

AAF stands for Alliance of American Football, which was announced in March by co-founders Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian, the latter of whom spent decades working as an NFL executive. It is an eight-team league that exists to both complement the NFL during the offseason and showcase local, developing talent.
