Saints sign offensive lineman Scott Lashley from tryout group at rookie minicamp

Another one of the 24 players who participated in the New Orleans Saints’ rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis has capitalized the opportunity. 

The Saints announced Wednesday they signed offensive lineman Scott Lashley.

The 6-foot-7, 315-pound Lashley spend four seasons at Alabama from 2016-19 before playing two seasons at Mississippi State as a graduate transfer.

Lashley played in 19 games for the Crimson Tide, earning snaps at right tackle and on special teams. He missed his first season with the Bulldogs due to an injury, but he then played 12 games at right tackle in 2021. 

Defensive end Niko Lalos, defensive lineman Jack Heflin, defensive back Adrian Frye and running back Ellis Merriweather were also all signed earlier this week from the tryout group.
