The Seahawks are bringing in a new face for a tryout this week, and if you haven’t heard of Luke Floriea yet, you’re about to. This dude was a legit standout for the Cleveland Browns during their preseason, and now our Emerald City squad is giving him a look. It’s an exciting move, especially as we get deeper into the regular season and opportunities pop up.
Floriea’s Preseason Numbers Speak Volumes
Seriously, this guy put on a show! Floriea, who stands at 5-foot-8, might be “undersized” on paper, but he played massive for the Browns. He snagged five passes for 60 yards in their preseason games, but that’s not the half of it. The real jaw-dropper? Three touchdowns! Yeah, you heard that right. Two of those scores came in their preseason finale against the Patriots, showcasing his ability to find the end zone when it mattered. The third one? That was against the Bills earlier in Week 2. He immediately became a fan favorite in Cleveland, and it’s easy to see why. The Browns, though, didn’t add him to their practice squad, making him a free agent and opening the door for our Hawks.
A Proven Playmaker Looking for a New Home
Floriea wasn’t just a flash in the pan. He was a productive piece for Kent State’s offense for three years before turning pro. He piled up 100 receptions for 1,321 yards and 12 touchdowns. After the 2025 season, where he posted career highs for Kent State, he went undrafted but quickly signed with the Browns. Our Seahawks already have Ricky White II, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., and Julian Hicks on the practice squad, but with long-time Hawk Cody White heading to the Raiders’ practice squad on Monday, there’s a spot to fill. It makes total sense that Mike Macdonald’s staff, along with OC Brian Fleury, would be looking for another dynamic body to add to that wide receiver room.
This is a chance for Floriea to show what he can do in the green and blue. Keep an eye on the wire this week, 12s. If this guy makes the squad, he could add some serious spark to our practice unit, and maybe, just maybe, he becomes another fan favorite here in Seattle.
