Broncos grab free agent UH punter

By Stephen Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer

Former University of Hawai'i punter Mat McBriar said he has reached an agreement on a free-agent football contract with the Denver Broncos.

"Hopefully, it's a perfect fit," said McBriar, who turned down two other offers to reunite with former UH teammates Ashley Lelie and Nick Rolovich. Jason Elam, who has played 10 seasons with the Broncos, is a former UH kicker.

McBriar said he will report to the Broncos' minicamp next week, but he is not sure if he will be able to work out. McBriar, a resident of Australia, is in the United States on a student visa. He has applied for a work visa.
