The Baltimore Ravens signed undrafted Wyoming kicker John Hoyland on Monday to compete with sixth-round draft pick Tyler Loop for the job previously held by Justin Tucker.
The Ravens released Tucker on May 5 amid a league investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. In a statement thanking Tucker for his time in Baltimore, executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta called the release a football decision.
Tucker is accused of engaging in inappropriate behavior with several female massage therapists. Sixteen women have accused Tucker of misconduct at eight high-end spas in the Baltimore area from 2012-16. Tucker has twice publicly denied the allegations.
Tucker was a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro.
The Ravens drafted Loop out of Arizona, and coach John Harbaugh originally said the position battle between Tucker and Loop would be based on football, as opposed to the outcome of the investigation into Tucker.
Instead, the battle will be between two rookies. Hoyland was invited to the Ravens’ rookie minicamp last week and impressed the team enough to be officially signed.
Hoyland went 15-for-19 on field goals and 25-for-25 on extra point attempts in 2024, his fifth season kicking for Wyoming.
