The Baltimore Ravens have officially signed former Cyclone linebacker Jake Hummel to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

The Dowling Catholic graduate has been a special teams standout since joining the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams in 2022.

While the Rams did not re-sign Hummel, who collected 31 tackles in his career as well as a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, the Ravens hopped on the opportunity.

Hummel will reunite with other former Cyclones in Baltimore in tight end Charlie Kolar and cornerback T.J. Tampa.

The Ravens now have the second-most former Cyclones in the league, just behind the New York Jets who have four players on their roster.
