Syracuse, N.Y. -- Former Syracuse football offensive tackle Jamar McGloster signed to the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad on Tuesday.

McGloster, who worked out for the Chargers in mid-September, is an undrafted rookie who previously spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions.

A two-year starter for the Orange from 2016-17, McGloster developed into a leader on the offensive line after arriving as a relatively unheralded prospect. The New Jersey native was spotted by SU at a spring camp at Milford Academy in New Berlin, New York, and ultimately signed with Syracuse.

After redshirting in 2013, McGloster played sparingly as an underclassman while he filled out his 6-foot-7 frame. Then he showcased his potential as a professional going up against some of the best pass rushers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

McGloster is the second former Syracuse standout to earn an NFL opportunity in the last week; wideout Amba Etta-Tawo signed to the New York Giants practice squad last Wednesday.

For 2018, a practice squad player earns a minimum of $7,600 per week.
