Former Syracuse football QB Eric Dungey has been invited to the XFL draft pool.

Dungey tweeted a screenshot Monday of an email inviting him to the league, which kicks off in 2020.

“Dear Eric,” the email reads, “I couldn’t be more excited to extend you an official invitation to join the XFL Player Draft Pool for our inaugural season kicking off in February 2020.”

The email was sent by XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck.

The star QB signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in May but spent much of his time playing tight end or on special teams.

The Giants released Dungey before the start of training camp in July.

Dungey joined Mike Tirico earlier this year to talk pro football and said he’s open to playing in a league other than the NFL.

“Those leagues are awesome," Dungey said in reference to the AAF or the XFL. "They’ve had a lot of success. But for the most part, the NFL is my goal and my aspirations, and that’s what I’m shooting for.”

Dungey recently announced that he’s returning to Syracuse this fall to finish his degree while doing weekly segments on ESPN Radio.

“I’m excited to be back in Syracuse for a few months and am thrilled for the opportunity presented by Galaxy Media to join TK99 and ESPN Radio with pre- and post-game coverage for the upcoming football season," Dungey said in a press release.

It’s currently unclear how the XFL would affect Dungey’s plans in Syracuse.

Dungey created more than 11,000 yards of offense during his time at Syracuse and led the Orange to a 10-3 record and a Camping World Bowl win as a senior.

The XFL, which consists of eight teams, signed its first player last week – former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Landry Jones.

According to ESPN, the XFL began sending invitations to the draft earlier this month. A primary draft will take place in October while minicamps and training camp will take place in December and January.
