The NFL wide receiver, who most recently played with the New York Jets, announced Saturday he has signed with the Premier Lacrosse League and declared his eligibility to be selected in the league’s draft next month. “As many of you know, my roots are in lacrosse,“ Hogan wrote on Twitter, ”and I’m excited to fight for a roster spot with the best in the world!”The 33-year-old Hogan was a lacrosse star at Penn State, playing on athletic scholarship with the Nittany Lions from 2007-10. Hogan was hurt most of his sophomore season, so he had another year of sports eligibility after his final year. Hogan then pursued an NFL career, signing with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in 2011. The Premier Lacrosse League, which merged in December with Major League Lacrosse, is scheduled to hold its entry draft on March 25.
