Former Slippery Rock University wide receivers Jermaine Wynn, Jr. and Cinque Sweeting have signed professional football contracts for the 2023 season. Wynn has signed a free agent contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, and Sweeting was drafted by the Vegas Vipers of the newly relaunched XFL.
They join two other players from that SRU era who are playing professionally. Former Rock quarterback Roland Rivers III played for the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL last season. Wes Hills was the starting running back for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL last season and remains signed for 2023.
