Scott becomes the twentieth UFL player to sign a contract with an NFL team
The UFL has announced that D.C. Defenders wide receiver Ty Scott has signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League.
Scott played in all 10 games for the Defenders, recording 25 catches for a team-leading 418 yards, to go along with three touchdowns.
After going undrafted out of Missouri State in 2023, Scott spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs before signing with the Defenders.
In two seasons at Missouri State, after transferring from Central Michigan, Scott caught 114 passes for 1,784 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning first-team All-MVFC honors in 2021.
Scott is the third UFL player to sign with the Seahawks this off-season, joining Birmingham Stallions running back Ricky Person Jr. and Michigan Panthers receiver Marcus Simms.
The D.C. Defenders will retain Scott’s rights should he return to the UFL.
