Ulbrich said he is simply looking for the "opportunity to prove" that he can play in the NFL.
"It's always a dream until it becomes a reality," Ulbrich wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "I just want an opportunity to prove myself."

Ulbrich faces tough competition if he wants to make the Dolphins roster.
Punter Jake Bailey is currently at the top of the Dolphins' depth chart. Bailey spent four seasons with the New England Patriots before joining the Dolphins in 2023. He earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2020.

Ulbrich had a standout season with MTSU in 2023, finishing the year with a career-best 47.1 yards per punt average and earned All-Conference honors.
However, he struggled to get punts to land inside the opposing teams 20-yard line, which could be a drawback for NFL clubs.
