UNLV’s Wolfe, Hawley head to Atlanta

UNLV wide receiver Ryan Wolfe signed as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons. He and center Joe Hawley, drafted earlier today in the fourth round by the Falcons, will remain teammates.

The Falcons interviewed Wolfe in Las Vegas, so he knew he had a good chance to sign with them.

"They've shown the most interest in me from the beginning, and I'm pretty comfortable with them," said Wolfe, the leading receiver in UNLV history.

Also, linebacker Stevenson Sylvester, a Valley High School graduate who play at Utah, was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is the No. 166 overall pick.
