According to Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press, safety Jack Tocho plans to sign a Reserve/Future deal with the Minnesota Vikings Monday.

Tomasson said Tocho picked the Vikings over the Houston Texans, who also offered the defensive back a contract.

Tocho was a seventh-round draft pick of the Vikings in the 2017 NFL Draft. He played college football at North Carolina State. After being released by the team after final roster cuts he was signed to the 10-man practice squad. Tocho was waived twice more throughout the season but was re-signed December 15th and ended the season on the Vikings roster.

Here’s an in-depth look at Tocho from VT’s WELCOME TO THE BIG SHOW series after the 2017 draft.

Tocho is the ninth player to sign a Futures deal with Minnesota since the season ended. Those players are:

  1. OT Cedrick Lang (Age 25, 6-foot-7, 270 lbs.)
  2. OT Dieugot Joseph (Age 23, 6-foot-6, 302 lbs.)
