The XFL mini-camps wrapped up last week, since then we’ve seen a few moves throughout the league. It looks like the Seattle Dragons have made a move of their own. Former LSU placekicker, Cole Tracy announced via Twitter that he has signed with the Seattle Dragons.
I am very excited to announce that I will be playing for the Seattle @XFLDragons this season! #XFL

Tracy set five school records in his one season at LSU as a graduate transfer from Division II Assumption College, and although he had free agent tryouts with the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers in the spring, the 23-year old placekicker has remained unsigned.
He attended the XFL’s Summer Showcase at Long Beach State on June 21, and the kickers each got six field goal attempts and a few kickoffs in front of the league’s scouts. Tracy went 6-for-6 on field goal attempts with a long of 60 yards.
At LSU, he had been a field goal specialist. True freshman Avery Atkins handled all the kickoffs, and his powerful leg led the nation with an 89.87 touchback percentage.
