It looks like Brandon Copeland will be taking his talents to the Music City now.
The former Penn linebacker signed with the Tennessee Titans’ practice squad on Tuesday after spending the first month of the NFL season on the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad.
Copeland was a three-year starter for the Quakers during his time at Penn and a three-time All-Ivy selection. Throughout his collegiate career, the Sykesville, Md., native recorded 160 tackles and 11 sacks for the Red and Blue.
After going undrafted in April’s NFL draft, he was signed to the Ravens’ practice squad heading into training camp.
And after a productive preseason that included a juggling interception which made SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays, Baltimore kept Copeland on its practice squad heading into the regular season.
As a member of an NFL practice squad, Copeland was available to all 31 other teams. The Titans exercised their right to sign him on Tuesday, bringing the 22-year-old to Nashville.
The Titans posted a press release to their website Tuesday evening announcing the signing.
Later Tuesday evening, Copeland confirmed the signing on his Twitter account, responding, “Thanks boss!” to congratulations from Russell Street Report writer Brian Bower.
