Ryan Purvis, a Lancaster Catholic and Boston College graduate, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night.

Terms of his contract were not immediately known.

Purvis had worked out briefly earlier on Friday in the Philadelphia Eagles minicamp before flying to Tampa.

The 6-foot-4, 260-pound Purvis, an All-Atlantic Coast Conference first team selection in 2007, joins a Buccaneers team that is deep at tight end.

The roster lists veterans Kellen Winslow and John Gilmore, the latter a product of Penn State and Wilson High.

Tampa Bay has also brought in to its rookie minicamp two other tight ends — Chris Zellner of the University of Miami and Cedric Hills of South Florida.

Purvis and Gilmore were both coached by current Lancaster Catholic coach Bruce Harbach.
