Former Michigan State football defensive back signs to Seattle Seahawks practice squad

A former MSU safety, now a linebacker, has signed with the Seahawks’ practice squad

A former Michigan State football player has found a new home in the NFL. On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks announced that they have signed linebacker Michael Dowell to the practice squad.

Dowell, who also had brother Andrew and David on the MSU team, was a safety in college but has since converted to linebacker at the next level.

Dowell spent three years with Michigan State before transferring to Miami of Ohio for two seasons. He signed with the Bengals this spring as an undrafted free agent before being cut, but now finds a nice landing spot in the NFL.
