For the second year in a row, a Mustang is headed to the NFL.

The Seattle Seahawks signed Cal Poly football wide receiver Michael Briscoe as an undrafted free agent on Saturday, following the NFL Draft.

Briscoe was reportedly a standout player for the Mustangs in the 2025 season. University officials said he led Cal Poly in all receiving categories and was a top ranker in the Big Sky Conference.

This marks the second consecutive year Cal Poly football has had a player sign with an NFL team as an undrafted free agent.

In 2025, defensive end Elijah Ponder signed with the New England Patriots. Cal Poly officials said Ponder made strong contributions in his rookie campaign, all the way to the Super Bowl.
