Ayedze played 11 games as Maryland’s right tackle last season.
Maryland offensive lineman Gottlieb Ayedze signed Saturday with the Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent, according to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.
Ayedze, a native of Germantown, Md., transferred to Maryland from Frostburg State (Division II) last offseason and made an instant impact. Despite battling injury early in the season, he played right tackle in 11 games, starting the team’s final 10. He was the sixth-highest rated pass blocking tackle in the Big Ten, earning an all-conference honorable mention.
Prior to his time in College Park, Ayedze was a star at the Division II level, starting every game with the Bobcats. He earned All-MEC first-team honors his final three years, elevating his game as a senior en route to all-America accolades. As a transfer, he chose Maryland over an invite to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl and enter the 2023 NFL Draft.
After the 2024 season, Ayedze played in the East-West Shrine Bowl and was a participant in the NFL scouting combine. Listed as a guard, he measured 6-foot-4 and 308 pounds, with his performance earning the eighth-best NFL Next Gen Stats grade among guards.
