Another former Nebraska player will get an opportunity at professional football in the XFL.

Former Nebraska lineman Jerald Foster was among the handful of players selected Friday in the XFL’s supplemental draft, being selected by the Tampa Bay Vipers.

Foster signed with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent last spring, but was cut before the start of the regular season. As a senior, Foster was named Nebraska’s offensive lineman of the year, and served as a team captain for the second straight year. Foster started all 12 games as a senior at left guard, and made 41 appearances during his Husker career.

He joins several former Husker players who heard their names called in the XFL Draft.

Wide receiver De’Mornay Pierson-El was the first Husker off the board when he was selected by the St. Louis BattleHawks. Pierson-El was selected in the third skill position round, and continues a whirlwind year that saw Pierson-El play two stints with the Oakland Raiders, as well as making a stop through the Alliance of American Football.

Pierson-El appeared in four preseason games for the Raiders this summer, making nine catches for 70 yards and one receiving touchdown. Pierson-El also returned punts for the Raiders, but was unable to crack the active roster or practice squad and was released.

Having spent time with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, after getting an initial crack with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent, Pierson-El showed his playmaking ability while with the Salt Lake City Stallions of the AAF, which recently suspended all of its football operations in its first year.

Prior to that decision, though, Pierson-El had 414 yards receiving on 36 catches during his time with the Stallions in eight weeks of play. That included one game in which he had nine catches for 130 yards and another where he had eight catches for 90 yards.

Pierson-El will be joined in St. Louis by former Husker wide receiver Brandon Reilly, who was drafted in the open phase of the draft. Reilly has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions since leaving Nebraska. Reilly was briefly on the active roster of the Bills after making 70 catches for 1,275 yards and six touchdowns as a Husker.

Wide receiver Alonzo Moore heard his name called on the draft’s first day, being selected by the Tampa Vipers. Moore spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs in training camp in 2017, and played for San Antonio in the Alliance of American Football for former Huskers head coach Mike Riley.

The final former Husker to hear his name called in the XFL Draft was defensive back Mohammed Seisay. Seisay has bounced around football quite a bit since signing with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska in 2014.

Seisay, who played at Nebraska in 2012 and 2013, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Lions before being dealt to the Seattle Seahawks. That’s when the injury issues began. Seisay played in 13 games for Detroit in 2014, making five tackles and was traded to Seattle in August 2015. That’s when the injuries began. Seisay hurt his shoulder in his first preseason with the Seahawks and after working back to the field, tore his Achilles in OTA workouts the following spring.
