Los Angeles Chargers sign former FSU Football QB following NFL Draft

Uiagalelei spent the 2024 season in Tallahassee after transferring to Florida State from Oregon State. He had a disappointing campaign, completing 84/156 passes for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns to six interceptions. In late September, Uiagalelei suffered an injury to his throwing hand that forced him to the sideline for the rest of the season.

The California native dealt with multiple ailments during his lone year with the Seminoles. A knee injury that dated back to fall camp limited his mobility. Uiagalelei rushed 37 times for -8 yards, the worst mark of his career by a wide margin. A season earlier at Oregon State, he proved to be effective with his legs, rushing 68 times for 219 yards and six touchdowns.

During his college career, Uiagalelei completed 779/1,332 passes for 9,384 yards with 61 touchdowns to 30 interceptions. He rushed 380 times for 1,124 yards and 21 more scores.

Uiagalelei was a five-star prospect in the 2020 class while spending his prep career at St. John Bosco.

The Los Angeles Chargers now have a quarterback room that includes Uiagalelei, Justin Herbert, Taylor Heinicke, and Trey Lance.
