The Washington Redskins signed free-agent punter Blake Clingan to an undisclosed contract on Tuesday.

Clingan has minimal NFL experience. He joined the Detroit Lions as a free agent on March 5, 2013, and was with the team until he was released on Aug. 31, 2013.

The 25-year-old played collegiately at Central Florida from 2007 to 2010 and established school records for career punt yardage (10,017 on 251 attempts) and kicks downed inside the 20-yard line (81).

Sav Rocca, the Redskins’ punter since the 2011 season, is an unrestricted free agent who has yet to sign during the offseason.
