Jake Hausmann Signs With Detroit Lions As Undrafted Free Agent

A second former Ohio State tight end learned of his next step on Saturday.

Hours after the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Luke Farrell with the first pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft, the Detroit Lions inked a deal with Jake Hausmann as an undrafted free agent. Lettermen Row's Jeremy Birmingham first reported the signing.

Hausmann, who spent five years in Columbus, served as Ohio State's third-string tight end last season behind Jeremy Ruckert and Farrell. He recorded one catch for 13 yards last season while playing 51 snaps and graded out as a champion once – for his performance against Penn State.
