Bio

Corrion Ballard is in his second stint with the Pirates. Ballard played in three IFL games with the Pirates in 2022 making a total of 15 tackles with a half sack and forcing one fumble. After those games he signed a contract with the Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League and remained with that organization for three seasons. In 2022 he registered 14 tackles. 2023 saw Ballard play in nine games with 48 tackles, five interceptions, three passes defended and three forced fumbles. In the Panthers playoff game against the Pittsburgh Maulers he added seven more stops.

In 2024 the Panthers moved to the UFL and Ballard remained consistent with 30 tackles and two passes broken up in nine games, including a season high nine stops in week two vs. Birmingham. In the Conference title game against the Stallions, he recorded four tackles. He re-signed with the Panthers but did not play in 2025. This spring Ballard signed with the Michigan Arrows of the Colonial Football League before re-joining the Pirates.


In all, the 6’3”, 210 lb. safety has played in seven professional leagues. His professional journey began in 2019 as he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League and attended training camp. He saw action with the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL in the 2020 season appearing in five games making four tackles. When the season was lost to the pandemic, Ballard signed a contract with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League.

 

Ballard began his collegiate career at Blinn College where he was a First-Team All Conference selection and the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. He then played two seasons for the University of Utah. Ballard, who hails from Houston, TX, played in 27 games making 23 starts. He registered 115 tackles (79 solo) with five tackles for a loss with one sack, three interceptions, defended 12 passes, forced a fumble and recovered another. Ballard equaled his career high of 12 tackles in the 2018 PAC-12 Championship game against Washington and led the Utes with 10 tackles and a career best 2.5 tackles for a loss (including a sack) in the Holiday Bowl vs. Northwestern. At season’s end he received All-PAC-12 Honorable Mention accolades.
