The Seattle Seahawks have bolstered their tight end depth by signing former UCLA standout Michael Ezeike and Pittsburg State product Devon Garrison. The team made room for these additions by releasing cornerback Willie Roberts and linebacker Devin Richardson.

Seattle is currently dealing with injuries at the tight end position. Both Pharaoh Brown and Jack Westover sustained injuries during the Seahawks’ joint practice with the Tennessee Titans on August 15, 2024. As a result, the team moved quickly to add reinforcements ahead of the new season.

Garrison, who went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, is an intriguing prospect. The Pittsburg State alum posted impressive numbers in 2023 with 53 receptions, 855 yards, and six touchdowns. At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, Garrison has the physical attributes teams look for in a developmental tight end, and he will be battling for a roster spot as training camp continues.

Ezeike, a former top-10 tight end recruit out of Colony High School, brings size and athleticism at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds. Although his college career at UCLA peaked in 2022 with 20 receptions for 226 yards and four touchdowns, Ezeike went undrafted in 2023. He has since spent time with the Los Angeles Chargers and the UFL’s Memphis Showboats.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll will have some tough decisions to make at the position. Prior to the signings, the Seahawks had a crowded tight end room, with veterans Noah Fant and Pharaoh Brown expected to lead the group. AJ Barner and Brady Russell were also seen as strong candidates to make the 53-man roster.

The competition will be fierce, but both Ezeike and Garrison have a chance to impress during the final stretch of camp. While their paths to the regular season roster remain uncertain, their signings provide the Seahawks with needed depth and potential upside at a position where health has become a concern.
