Former Utah State safety Dallin Leavitt made a strong enough impression at the Oakland Raiders rookie minicamp to earn further consideration from the team.
The Raiders announced Monday they have signed Leavitt, after he competed on a tryout basis at Oakland’s rookie camp May 4-6.
Leavitt becomes the second former Aggie rookie to sign a free-agent deal, after cornerback Jalen Davis signed with the Miami Dolphins following the NFL draft last month. Another USU player, wide receiver Braelon Roberts, also went to Raiders camp on a tryout basis.
The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Leavitt played two seasons at USU after transferring from BYU and earned honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference honors as a senior in 2017.
