RENTON, Wash. – The Seattle Seahawks announced a number of roster moves Sunday, waiving long snapper Tanner Carew and tight end Kayaune Ross to make room for wide receivers Marvin Bracy and Malik Turner.
The 24-year-old Bracy originally signed with Florida State University out of high school to play football and run track. However, after redshirting his freshmen year with the Seminoles football program, Bracy left college to go professional in track.
Bracy holds a personal best time of 9.93 seconds in the 100-meter dash and won three consecutive championships in the 60-meter dash at the U.S. Indoor Track & Field Championships from 2014-2016. Bracy finished 14th in the 100-meter dash at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
In August 2017, Bracy returned to football and signed with the Indianapolis Colts as a wide receiver. He was waived on Sept. 2, 2017 and remained a free agent until signing with the Seahawks.
