On Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed rookie wide receiver Xavier Ubosi, a former standout at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. To make room on the 90-man offseason roster, the Buccaneers released third-year defensive lineman Stevie Tu'ikolovatu.

Ubosi is actually on his third NFL team this month. The New England Patriots were the first to sign the 6-3, 215-pound receiver as an undrafted free agent on May 6. He was waived a week later and claimed off waivers by the New York Jets. Ubosi was then waived by the Jets last week.

In two seasons at UAB, Ubosi caught 48 passes for 1,065 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging a robust 22.2 yards per catch. He was particularly productive as a senior last fall, grabbing 35 passes for 837 yards and eight scores and gaining 23.9 yards per reception. He was named the MVP of the Boca Raton Bowl last season as the Blazers defeated Northern Illinois, 37-13. Ubosi began his career at Pierce College in Los Angeles before transferring to UAB.
