LOCAL UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS

Five athletes with direct ties to Southern Arizona signed free agent contracts but none as close as former Mountain View standout Jeff Cotton.

“It’s fun to experience this, and I hope a team believes in me the way I believe in myself,” Cotton told Ryan Collingwood of the Spokesman-Review. “I can play inside, outside, wingback or special teams. I’ll do whatever I can to help a team win.”
