Ryan Navarro has signed a free agent deal with the Oakland Raiders after going undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Ryan Navarro spent two years at Riverside Community College before transferring to Oregon State prior to the 2015 season. As a Beaver, Navarro won the starting long snapper job and played in all 24 games during his junior and senior season. Navarro was more than a stereotypical long snapper though, as he was often seen flying downfield in an effort to make a tackle on the opposing team’s punt returner. He managed to record six tackles over his two seasons in Corvallis and his hustle against Minnesota in 2016 earned him the opportunity to recover a muffed punt.
