ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — Pending a passed physical, former Buffalo Bulls QB Tyree Jacksonwill be staying in Western New York, agreeing to an undrafted free-agent deal with the Bills.

Adam Schefter was the first to report the news following the end of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Many experts believed Jackson would be an early day-three draft pick. Instead, he went undrafted, along with all of his other teammates from UB.

As a junior, Jackson threw for 3,131 yards and 28 touchdowns, adding seven rushing touchdowns. UB finished with a program-best 10-4 record but squandered a big second-half lead in the MAC Championship game to Northern Illinois.

Throughout his three-year collegiate career with the Bulls, Jackson passed for 6,999 yards and threw for 49 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. He also rushed for nearly 800 yards and another 16 scores.
