Jack Plummer is orchestrating something special in Orlando. The 26-year-old quarterback has led the Storm to a perfect 4-0 start in the 2026 UFL season. Yet Plummer insists the team’s best football remains ahead.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Jack Plummer Stats: 73-of-106 passing for 853 yards with 7 TDs and 1 INT
- Record: Orlando Storm leads UFL at 4-0, the only undefeated team
- Next Challenge: Takes on St. Louis Battlehawks (2-2) on Saturday at 7 PM ET
- Plummer Quote: “We haven’t scratched the surface yet of how good our team can be”
Rising Star Leads Historic Start
Plummer earned the starting job after the Orlando Storm named him their franchise QB in late March. The former Louisville Cardinals standout beat out competition in training camp and hasn’t looked back. Through four weeks, he’s posted impressive numbers while leading a team that seemed destined for struggle in its inaugural season.
The 6-foot-5 passer was previously with the Carolina Panthers in 2024 as an undrafted free agent. His return to professional football with Orlando marks a major comeback story. Teammates and coaches praise his work ethic and command of the offense.

Offensive Chemistry Driving Success
Plummer credits offensive coordinator Colin Thompson for the team’s explosive growth. “Colin makes coming to the office super fun,” Plummer explained during his Monday press conference. The chemistry between QB and play-caller has opened up more downfield opportunities in recent weeks.
The Storm’s aerial attack has become noticeably sharper. Plummer enjoys chunking the ball downfield, using his mobility and arm strength to attack vertically. This evolution made their dominant 16-0 shutout of Birmingham last week particularly impressive, though Plummer’s individual numbers were modest that night, 17-of-27 for 182 yards and one TD.

“We’ve kind of struggled a little bit in the red zone this year, and that’s something we’re going to really emphasize. We got to score touchdowns down there.”
— Jack Plummer, Orlando Storm Quarterback
Red Zone Discipline Becomes Key Focus
Plummer acknowledged that even with a 4-0 record, the red zone execution remains inconsistent. The field compression near the goal line presents unique challenges for both passing and running attacks. “I think we’ll have a better plan going into the game this week and how we want to attack the red zone,” Plummer said.
This focus on improvement reflects the quarterback’s mindset. Despite dominating opponents, he sees gaps in performance. Week 5 against St. Louis will test Orlando’s ability to finish drives in critical situations. The Battlehawks enter at 2-2, hungry for an upset against the UFL’s hottest team.
Is This Unbeaten Run Sustainable Through the UFL Season?
The Orlando Storm’s 4-0 start has surprised many observers. Few expected a brand-new franchise to compete this effectively. However, Plummer and his teammates refuse to celebrate prematurely. The quarterback’s humility about the team’s potential suggests deeper ambitions than just winning early.
Defensive pass rusher Keshawn Banks, who leads the league in sacks, reinforces this mentality. “The level of talent in the league this year has definitely gone up,” Banks noted. Growing UFL talent means future opponents will pose increasing threats. Yet if Plummer continues evolving and the offense keeps finding consistency, Orlando’s ceiling appears genuinely high. Saturday’s test against St. Louis will reveal whether this team can sustain excellence.
