The Seahawks signed receiver Ty Scott on Thursday, the latest former UFL standout to join the team this summer.
Cornerback Andrew Whitaker was released to make room on the 90-man roster. Additionally, rookie linebacker Easton Gibbs, who was placed on the non-football injury list last week, has passed his physical.
Scott, who went undrafted out of Missouri State last year, initially signed with the Kansas City Chiefs last spring, but after being released prior to the start of the season, he signed with the DC Defenders of the United Football League. Scott went on the lead the Defenders in receiving, gaining 418 yards on 25 receptions while scoring three touchdowns.
In two seasons at Missouri State, Scott caught 114 passes for 1,784 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning first-team All-MVFC honors in 2021 and an honorable mention nod in 2022.
Scott becomes the third player to sign with Seattle this summer after a successful stint in the UFL joining Birmingham Stallions running back Ricky Person Jr. and Michigan Panthers receiver Marcus Simms.
The Seahawks held their first practice of training camp on Wednesday, July, 2024 at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
