Cal Poly wide receiver Michael Briscoe signs undrafted free agent contract with Seattle

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - Cal Poly football wide receiver Michael Briscoe is headed to the NFL. Briscoe was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks Saturday following the conclusion of the NFL Draft.

This past season, Briscoe was standout wideout for the Mustangs, leading Cal Poly in all receiving categories. His seven touchdowns ranked fourth in the Big Sky as did his 18.1 yards per reception. His 77.9 receiving yards per game ranked third in the Big Sky and his 779 yards on the season ranked seventh. He also threw for a touchdown and had a game in which he had four receiving touchdowns.

For his career, Briscoe totaled 1,566 receiving yards, 78 receptions, and 14 touchdowns. His 14 career receiving touchdowns ranks 10th in program history. He earned All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honors this past season.

This is the second consecutive year Cal Poly football has had a player sign with an NFL team following the draft. Last year, defensive end Elijah Ponder signed with the New England Patriots and went on to make strong contributions in his rookie campaign all the way to the Super Bowl.

Briscoe will now join a Seahawks team that is fresh off beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl to win the Lombardi trophy this season.
