Jamar McGloster played in 30 games after redshirting.

Former Syracuse offensive tackle Jamar McGloster has signed as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers. The 6-foot-7, 309-pound McGloster joins Zaire Franklin, Ervin Philips and Steve Ishmael as former SU players to join NFL teams on Saturday.

McGloster started 24 consecutive games at right tackle for Syracuse between 2016 and 2017. He ranked second on the Orange in snaps in 2017.

When then-SU coach Scott Shafer visited St. Anthony (New Jersey) High School in 2013, McGloster had no scholarship offers for football. But Shafer offered him on the spot and McGloster ended up playing in 30 games at Syracuse after redshirting.
