SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - Cal Poly football wide receiver Michael Briscoe is headed to the NFL. Briscoe was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks Saturday following the conclusion of the NFL Draft.

This past season, Briscoe was standout wideout for the Mustangs, leading Cal Poly in all receiving categories. His seven touchdowns ranked fourth in the Big Sky as did his 18.1 yards per reception. His 77.9 receiving yards per game ranked third in the Big Sky and his 779 yards on the season ranked seventh. He also threw for a touchdown and had a game in which he had four receiving touchdowns.

For his career, Briscoe totaled 1,566 receiving yards, 78 receptions, and 14 touchdowns. His 14 career receiving touchdowns ranks 10th in program history. He earned All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honors this past season.

This is the second consecutive year Cal Poly football has had a player sign with an NFL team following the draft. Last year, defensive end Elijah Ponder signed with the New England Patriots and went on to make strong contributions in his rookie campaign all the way to the Super Bowl.

Briscoe will now join a Seahawks team that is fresh off beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl to win the Lombardi trophy this season.

Según los registros públicos, el hombre sospechoso de abrir fuego en la cena de la Asociación de Corresponsales de la Casa Blanca este sábado por la noche trabajaba como profesor y desarrollador de videojuegos en el sur de California.

Cole Tomas Allen, de 31 años, residente de Torrance, un suburbio de Los Ángeles, ha sido identificado por las fuerzas del orden como el hombre armado que fue reducido cerca del lugar donde se reunieron el presidente Trump y otros funcionarios para la cena, según informaron a CNN dos fuentes familiarizadas con el asunto.

Un perfil de LinkedIn que coincidía con su nombre y foto lo describía como profesor a tiempo parcial en C2 Education, una empresa de preparación de exámenes y tutorías. Según publicaciones de la empresa en redes sociales, C2 nombró a Allen “profesor del mes” en diciembre de 2024. Nadie respondió al número de teléfono de C2 este sábado por la noche.

Según su perfil de LinkedIn, Allen se graduó del Instituto Tecnológico de California en 2017 con una licenciatura en ingeniería mecánica y obtuvo una maestría en informática de la Universidad Estatal de California en Dominguez Hills el año pasado.

Como estudiante de Caltech, apareció en un reportaje de noticias local en 2017 por haber desarrollado un prototipo de freno de emergencia para sillas de ruedas.

Según los registros de la Comisión Federal Electoral, Allen donó 25 dólares a la campaña presidencial de Kamala Harris en octubre de 2024.

Allen también se describió a sí mismo como desarrollador de videojuegos en su perfil de LinkedIn, y parece haber publicado un juego independiente llamado Bohrdom para su venta en la plataforma de juegos Steam por 1,99 dólares. Registró la marca comercial del nombre del juego en 2018, según los registros federales de marcas.

En su perfil de LinkedIn, Allen escribió que actualmente estaba “desarrollando un segundo juego, cuyo nombre provisional es ‘First Law’”.
