BALTIMORE, Md. – Western Michigan quarterback Zach Terrell has signed a free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens. He becomes the second Western Michigan player to join the AFC North after Keion Adams was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Terrell ended his career at Western Michigan as the all-time leading passer with 11,947 yards and 95 touchdowns. He won the 2016 National Football Foundation William V. Campbell Trophy Award, given to the top scholar-athlete in the country. The three-time All-MAC quarterback won the 2016 Mid-American Conference Vern Smith Leadership Award. Western Michigan's all-time leader in career completion percentage, Terrell led the Broncos to a 13-0 regular season, including the team's first New Year's Six bowl berth at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2, 2017 vs. Wisconsin. Terrell saw the Broncos win their first Mid-American Championship since 1988 when they defeated Ohio.

Terrell joins a lineage of former Bronco quarterbacks to be signed to pro teams including current head coach Tim Lester, along with former signal callers Alex Carder, Ryan Cubit, Tony Kimbrough, Jay McDonagh and Jeff Welsh.
