Former Navy cornerback Cameron Kinley will have his commission delayed and be allowed to attend training camp with the Buccaneers, according to a release.
The U.S. secretary of defense and retired general Lloyd Austin reversed the previous decision that denied Kinley in June. Kinley went undrafted in April but signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent. He’ll get his chance to fight for a spot on the defending champion’s roster at training camp now.
“I am extremely appreciative of secretary Austin’s decision and I am excited to represent our fine military in the National Football League.” Kinley wrote in a release. “This past month has been very challenging and I am thankful for everyone who has supported me in any way.”
During his senior year in 2020, Kinley racked up 26 total tackles and one interception.
