Baltimore Ravens sign Donte Sylencieux, high school teammate of QB Lamar Jackson

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- It may be graduation season, but the Baltimore Ravens have a high school reunion planned for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Wide receiver Donte Sylencieux, one of nine undrafted rookies signed by the Ravens on Thursday, was Jackson's favorite target when they played at Boynton Beach High School in Florida. Sylencieux caught 10 touchdown passes in two seasons with Jackson.

Sylencieux totaled 59 catches in three seasons at Graceland University -- an NAIA school in Iowa - and is considered a long shot to make the Ravens. Baltimore selected two wide receivers in this year's draft, including first-rounder Rashod Bateman, and added Sammy Watkins in free agency.
