On Thursday, The Seattle Seahawks signed Former Meridian Trojan TE Andrei Lintz to a free agent contract. The 6-5 260-pound undrafted free agent was one of two additions to the team on Thursday.
Lintz who graduated from Washington State last spring, went to a tryout with the New Orleans Saints in April. But with six tight ends in camp, Lintz became expendable.
After his tryout with the Saints, Lintz interned in Omaha, Neb., with a company putting on the US Senior Open golf tournament. He made such an impact, they invited him to Los Angeles to work with the CrossFit Games. Then his opportunity with the Seahwaks cam on Thursday.
Big things were expected out of Lintz last fall during his senior season at Washington State, but a knee injury limited him to two receptions for 14 yards.
Lintz appeared in 43 games for the Cougars and made 10 starts during his career. He finished with 10 receptions for 114 yards and two touchdowns and was a three-time All Academic Pac-12 selection.
In May, he was named to the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame 2013 Hampshire Honor Society, which honors the college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers.
While at Meridian, Lintz piled up 628 yards receiving and 15 touchdowns as a senior in 2007 and 718 yards and 16 TD's as a junior.
