Former Army offensive tackle Brett Toth received a military waiver on Friday and sign a three-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, his agent, Alan Herman, told ESPN.
Toth started to fulfill his service requirement after graduating as a nuclear engineer in May 2018, but a change in policy regarding athletes pursuing professional careers provided an opening for him to request an opportunity to sign with the Eagles.
Toth, who is listed at 6-foot-6 and 291 pounds, played 31 games in college and became the first player from West Point to compete in the Senior Bowl.
Air Force draftee Austin Cutting became the first military graduate to sign with a team in July under President Donald Trump’s change of policy.
The Minnesota Vikings made Cutting, a long snapper, a seventh-round draft pick (250th overall) out of the Air Force Academy in April.
