Vikings sign undrafted rookie William Kwenkeu, release Tuf Borland
The Vikings on Monday signed undrafted rookie linebacker William Kwenkeu, who took part in their rookie minicamp last weekend.
Kwenkeu, who played at Temple from 2016-21, was one of 17 tryout players at the camp. To make room on the roster for him, the Vikings released linebacker Tuf Borland.
At Temple, the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Kwenkeu had 183 tackles in 47 games. He played college ball with two current Vikings — cornerback Harrison Hand in 2019 and defensive lineman Jullian Taylor in 2016-17.
With the roster moves, the Vikings remain at the offseason roster limit of 90 players. Kwenkeu is expected to participate in Tuesday’s start of organized activities under first-year head coach Kevin O’Connell.
Borland was undrafted in 2021 out of Ohio State and spent last season on the practice squad. He was elevated during the season to play in two games.
