Former Ohio State guard Alex Boone could soon be back in the NFL.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Boone is expected to sign with the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad.
Alex Boone hasn't played in an NFL game in almost three years. He worked out yesterday for the #Ravens and had a chance to reunite with former #49ers OC Greg Roman. Instead, he's now expected to reunite with former SF OL coach Mike Solari in Seattle. https://t.co/trNuQ81MAm

Boone has not played in the NFL since 2017, when he was with the Arizona Cardinals, but he's been working toward a comeback since this summer.

He was also one of several former Ohio State football players – along with Jeff Okudah, Isaiah Prince, C.J. Saunders and Ryan Shazier – who earned their degrees from the university this past weekend.
Incredibly proud of our student-athletes who became #OSUgrads this past weekend!
