Seahawks Sign RB Ricky Person Jr.

The Seahawks signed running back Ricky Person Jr. on Monday, adding a player fresh off a standout season for the UFL champion Birmingham Stallions.

Additionally, the Seahawks waived cornerback Ro Torrence, defensive end Rason Williams and running back TaMerik Williams, all of whom signed with Seattle as undrafted free agents in May.

Person, who went undrafted out of North Carolina State, initially signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2022. The 6-foot, 217-pound Person then joined the Stallions in 2023, and with Birmingham, Person has won back-to-back USFL/UFL titles. In this year’s championship game win over San Antonio, he rushed for a game-high 102 yards on 13 carries, capping a season in which he rushed for 297 yards and six touchdowns in nine games, adding 150 receiving yards on 13 catches.

Person joins a running back room that also includes Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh and a pair of rookie free-agent additions, George Holani and Kobe Lewis.
