Seahawks Undrafted Free Agent Tracker: Live analysis for every 2023 UDFA signing
By Lee Vowell

The Seahawks draft is over but since 2010, some of Seattle's best players have come from being signed after the draft. Remember players like Doug Baldwin? Of course, you do. Maybe a 2023 undrafted free agent will be a difference maker too.
After the 2023 NFL draft ended and after the Seahawks had chosen the players they wanted, the roster had a total of 62 players. Teams can carry up to 90 before final roster cuts are made before Week 1 of the regular season. This means Seattle could sign up to 28 UDFAs to fill out the roster.
The Seahawks wasted no time after the draft picking up players they think potentially can help the team. We will keep you updated as to all the moves, of course. But here are the UDFAs currently slated to go to Seahawks camp.
Seattle Seahawks 2023 UDFA tracker: Keeping up with all the moves
Quarterback Holton Ahlers, East Carolina
God is good ❤️ I’m a Seahawk… Let’s work!!! @Seahawks
— Holton Ahlers (@holtahlers12) April 30, 2023
Ahlers is big enough to play in the NFL as he is 6'4" and 230 pounds. He was also really productive in college with 97 touchdown passes. But he is left-handed (rare for NFL quarterbacks) and not overly athletic.
Defensive end M.J. Anderson, Iowa State

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) April 30, 2023
Anderson was given a pretty high signing bonus for a UDFA at $15,000. He is big enough to play in the NFL at 6'3" and 275 pounds. But he wasn't overly productive with just 3.5 sacks in 2022.
Linebacker Michael Ayers, Ashland University
𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗙𝗟🏈@Ashland_Univ All-American Linebacker Michael Ayers has signed with the Seattle Seahawks!
— Ashland University Athletics (@ashlandeagles_) April 30, 2023
The 2022 @GreatMidwestAC Player of the Year looks to become the 10th Eagle in program history to play in an NFL regular-season game!
Ayers was well-respected in college as he was the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 and the conference's Player of the Year in 2022. He is 6'2" and 220 pounds. He is an excellent tackler.
Wide receiver Jake Bobo, UCLA
The Seahawks are signing former UCLA and Duke WR Jake Bobo, per source.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 29, 2023
He led UCLA in catches, yards and receiving TD in 2022, his lone season with the Bruins.
He previously was named third-team All-ACC at Duke in 2021.
Bobo is a big receiver at 6'5" and 215 pounds. He needs to add more weight to play in the NFL, however, as he is a bit thin. He isn't explosive but would be a good red-zone target.
Cornerback Lance Boykin, Coastal Carolina

— Lance Boykin (@LanceB_1) April 30, 2023
Boykin actually got invited to the NFL combine, but he didn't really stand out. He does have decent size at 6'2" and 200 pounds. Some think he will transition to safety in the NFL.
Linebacker Cam Bright, Washington
Former Pitt and Washington LB Cam Bright is signing with the #Seahawks, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 30, 2023
Bright isn't overly tall for a linebacker at 6 feet. He can tackle pretty well, though, and might be a good special teamer. Plus, what would a Seahawks draft be without a U-Dub guy?
Cornerback Arquon Bush, Cincinnati
Blessings. Only the beginning for @ArquonB https://t.co/VXqlfMO2Ex
— Micah Zanders (@__MZ12) April 30, 2023
Bush is a former teammate of current Seahawk Coby Bryant. Bush is more of a nickelback, though. As Bryant plays that spot for Seattle currently, there might not be as much love coming to the team from Bush's former teammate as he might like.
Cornerback Jack Campbell, Montana State
How would like to have the culture shock of Campbell. The 6'1" and 180-pound CB grew up in Florida and went to college in Montana. He needs to add weight to withstand NFL-type punishment, though.
Running back Marcus Cooper, Incarnate Word
The Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign Incarnate Word RB Marcus Cooper to an UDFA contract #FCS pic.twitter.com/NyLTGpDXeg
— The Bluebloods (@The__Bluebloods) April 30, 2023
To me, Cooper's college sounds like a gothic threat. Cooper isn't big at 5'8" and 185 pounds. He was really productive in 2022, however, with 1,436 yards rushing on just 212 carries.
Defensive end Jordan Ferguson, Middle Tennessee State
Big Time CONGRATULATIONS to Jordan Ferguson going to the Seahawks! They are getting an OUTSTANDING PLAYER, an a PHENOMENAL MAN! Let’s Go! Can’t wait to watch you my man!
— Coach Stock (@CoachStock) April 29, 2023
Ferguson is 6'2" and 270 pounds so a bit small for an NFL DE. He did have 9 sacks in 2022, though. He also had 34 tackles-for-loss in his college career.
Tight end Noah Gindorff, North Dakota State
Former North Dakota State TE Noah Gindorff is signing with the #Seahawks, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 29, 2023
Gindorff is big enough at 6'6". One thing he doesn't really do is catch passes, though - he had only 6 catches in 2022. But he is a good blocker so the Seahawks might try to develop him into a tackle eventually.
Wide receiver C.J. Johnson, East Carolina
The Seahawks have agreed to a UDFA deal with East Carolina WR C.J. Johnson, according to a source. So he'll be following QB and fellow UDFA Holton Ahlers to Seattle from ECU.
— Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) April 30, 2023
Johnson played a bunch in college and has good size. He is 6'2" and 225 pounds. He is more of a red-zone target than a deep threat, however.
Wide receiver John Hall, Northwood University
Former Northwood University (Mich.) WR John Hall is signing with the #Seahawks, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 30, 2023
You might be asking yourself, "Where is Northwood University?" I have no idea. But Hall is 6'4" and 200 pounds and had 12 career touchdown receptions in 36 games.
Tight end Griffin Hebert, Louisiana Tech

— DiBirds (@DiBirdsBlog) April 30, 2023
Hebert is more of a pass-catcher than a run-blocker. His size is OK for a TE at 6'3" and 230 pounds, though. If he catches on with the team, it will likely be as a third-down option.
Wide receiver Matt Landers, Arkansas
Former Arkansas WR Matt Landers is signing with the #Seahawks, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 29, 2023
Landers bounced around college football and played for three teams, so that's a bit weird. He is another big receiver, though, at 6'5". He also only weights 195 pounds, however, so can he hold up to NFL-type punishment?
Wide receiver Tyjohn Lindsey, Oregon State
Lindsey is a bit small as he is 5'8" and only 170 pounds. He didn't do a whole lot with the passes he caught last season, though. He had just 317 yards receiving on 30 receptions.
Defensive lineman Ifeanyi Maijeh, Rutgers
Ifeanyi Maijeh Rutgers DT to sign with Seattle Seahawks UDFA #NFLDraft
— Bo Marchionte (@BoMarchionte) April 29, 2023
Maijeh is 290 pounds and 6'2" but Seattle likely sees him as a noseguard. This means he will need to add weight. But he was good in pass-rush in college.
Linebacker Patrick O'Connell, Montana
The Kalispell native is staying in the PNW!
— Montana Griz Football (@MontanaGrizFB) April 30, 2023
CONGRATS to @PattyC233 for signing with the @Seahawks! #GoGriz #NextLevelGriz #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/TGNCSQ5CZC
Seattle signed a couple of Montana guys. There might be two reasons for this. One, they like the players. Two, Montana has a bunch of Seahawks fans.
Defensive back Ty Okada, Montana State
Signed ✍️
— Montana State Football (@MSUBobcats_FB) April 29, 2023
Congrats to @tyokada on signing with the @Seahawks 👊#BobcatBuilt | #ProCats pic.twitter.com/dnDB7eL3HI
Okada has decent size for a nickelback. He is 5'11" and 200 pounds. He does lack high-end speed, though.
Safety Mo Osling, UCLA
Word on the street is that #UCLA DB Mo Osling will sign as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks.
— Mike Regalado 🏀🏈🎧 (@MikeRegaladoLA) April 29, 2023
Osling is a good tackler but not great in deep coverage. He has decent size, however, at 6'2" and 195 pounds. He could add a few more pounds and help on special teams.
Offensive lineman Kendall Randolph, Alabama
The Seahawks have agreed to a UDFA deal with Alabama OL Kendall Randolph, per source. He's listed at 6-4, 298 pounds and also played some TE for the Crimson Tide. Started two games at LG and one at TE last year.
— Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) April 30, 2023
How would you like to be Randolph? He played at Alabama and those guys are used to going high in drafts, not be UDFAs. He is 6'4" and 300 pounds and oddly started two games at left guard for the Tide in 2022 and one at tight end.
Running back Chris Smith, Louisiana
Former Louisiana RB Chris Smith is signing with the #Seahawks on a deal that includes a $6,500 signing bonus, per source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 29, 2023
Smith is an interesting prospect. He isn't a thumper at just 5'9" and 195 pounds, but he can catch and could possibly be a returner. Seattle gave him $6,000 to sign so there is that.
Long snapper Chris Stoll, Penn State
The Seahawks have agreed to a deal with Penn State long-snapper Chris Stoll, sources confirm (@DailyCollegian first reported it). They didn't have any on their roster, with Tyler Ott and Carson Tinker both unsigned.
— Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) April 30, 2023
The Seahawks had no long snapper on the roster until they added Stoll so he has a good chance to make the team. Two things here. Stoll was actually a captain on Penn State's team and that says a lot about how other players respect him. Two, he won the Patrick Mannelly Award for being college football's top long snapper.
Safety Jonathan Sutherland, Penn State
#Seahawks signing Penn State special-teams ace Jonathan Sutherland, per a league source
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) April 29, 2023
Seattle added another UDFA from Penn State who was also a captain at the school. He is 5'11" and 215 pounds. If he makes the Seahawks roster, it will likely be because of his special teams prowess.
Defensive lineman Jonah Tavai, San Diego State
#Seahawks are signing @AztecFB DL Jonah Tavai, per league source. Stout DL that plays with terrific leverage.@TheDraftNetwork
— Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) April 29, 2023
Tavai is good at stopping the run, but he is short. He is only 6-feet and 290 pounds. This seems a bit too small to play long-term in the NFL.
3 current Seahawks that were winners during the 2023 NFL draft. dark. Next
Safety Christian Young, Arizona
SEAHAWK NATION LETS GET TO WORK!!! #GoHawks 💚💙
— CY (@cy_cinco) April 30, 2023
Young has good size for a safety. He is 6'3" and 230 pounds. He lacks high-end speed but should be good on special teams.
