Vikings Waive Former UMD Tight End & Captain Zach Ojile

Ojile signed with the Vikings on May 15th as an undrafted free agent.

EAGAN, Minn.- After almost three months of being on the Vikings roster, Zach Ojile’s dream of playing for his hometown team has come to an end for now.

The former UMD tight end was waived by Minnesota on Friday after the team signed XFL running back Abram Smith.

Ojile’s journey to the NFL started back on May 12th, when he was invited to the Vikings rookie camp.

Three days later, he would sign with the team.

Ojile had participated in the team’s OTA’s as well as a week and a half of training camp.

He is now free to sign with any other NFL team.
