He was undrafted, but he had one more year of college eligibility.
The thing with college players is that you have to give them an incentive to forgo the final year of college (
and likely give up a nice scholarship), and you do that by giving him a maximum ELC and the associated signing bonus.
EDIT: It looks like Union College is one of only 4 non-Ivy League Division 1 Colleges to not offer Athletic Scholarships, although, student athletes can still receive regular academic scholarships and student aid.
