According to the official Twitter account of the Virginia Tech Hokies football team, undrafted quarterback Jerod Evans has signed a free agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.



A former junior college quarterback, Evans spent just one year in Blacksburg before surprisingly declaring for the NFL Draft as a junior.



In his lone year in Blacksburg, the 6-foot 3-inch signal caller from Texas had solid production for head coach Justin Fuente, throwing for 3,546 yards and 29 touchdowns while adding another 846 yards with his legs and 12 more scores. He landed in Virginia Tech's record books for the most yards in a season, average yards per game in a season and career, touchdown passes thrown in a season, yards thrown in a season, most passes completed in a season, career completion percentage, yards per game average and is currently tenth on Virginia Tech's Career Total Offense Leaders list.



Evans will add a fourth quarterback option to the Eagles roster which currently lists Carson Wentz, Nick Foles and Matt McGloin.
