Rapoport reports Vital has landed on the team’s practice squad, listed as a tight end. A four-year starter at Baylor, Vital played 126 games, averaging 25 minutes, six points, six rebounds and two assists per game, leading the Bears to an NCAA Tournament championship with a 86-70 win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
Vital apparently gave up football around eighth grade to focus on basketball. At 6-foot-5 and 250-pounds, the former basketball star joins Tyler Mabry on the practice squad, with Gerald Evertt, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson rounding out the depth chart for the Seahawks.
