Ravens Sign 20 UDFAs
The Ravens’ class of undrafted rookies keeps getting bigger and bigger. This week, the Ravens announced the signings of six more UDFAs, bringing their official grand total to eleven, though they’ve actually agreed to take on 19 in total. Here’s the full rundown:
- Evan Adams, OL (Syracuse)
- Jacob Breeland, TE (Oregon)
- Trystan Colon-Castillo, C (Missouri)
- Aaron Crawford, DT (UNC)
- John Daka, DE (JMU)
- Daishawn Dixon, OL (San Diego State)
- Khalil Dorsey, DE (NAU)
- Jeff Hector, DB (Redlands)
- Tyler Huntley, QB (Utah)
- Dom Maggio, P (Wake Forest)
- Jaylon Moore, WR (UTM)
- Sean Pollard, OL (Clemson)
- Bronson Rechsteiner, FB (Kennesaw State)
- Chauncey Rivers, RB (Mississippi State)
- Ty’Son Williams, RB (BYU)
- Kristian Welch, LB (Iowa)
- Nigel Warrior, S (Tennessee)
- Eli Wolf, TE (Georgia)
- Marcus Willoughby, DE (Elon)
- Nick Vogel, K (UAB)
Huntley, a 6’1″ quarterback out of Utah, played against Lamar Jackson as a high schooler in Florida. With the Utes, Huntley started 33 games in total and finished 2019 with a 19/4 TD/INT ratio.
Rechsteiner, a hard-nosed fullback, is a natural bruiser – he’s the son of former WCW/WWF wrestler Rick Steiner and the nephew of Scott Steiner, a.k.a. Big Poppa Pump. At Division III Kennesaw State, he averaged 8.1 yards per carry. With the Ravens, he’ll face an uphill battle in making the roster with Patrick Ricard already occupying the position.
There are also a few notable guarantees in this UDFA class, including Wolf, who received $65K between his $50K base salary and $15K signing bonus (Twitter link via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle).
