SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU offensive lineman Tristen Hoge signed a free agent deal with the New York Jets after going undrafted in the 2021 NFL Draft.

He signed with the Jets shortly after the conclusion of the NFL Draft on Saturday, May 1.

Hoge will join former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, who was drafted by the Jets with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
