University of Akron quarterback Luke Getsy said today he has signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers.

Getsy's 6,117 career passing yards rank third on the UA all-time list. He led the 2005 Zips to the school's first Mid-American Conference football championship and first Division I-A bowl game.

In that Motor City Bowl game, Getsy threw for a school-record 455 yards, completing 34-of-59 passes with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a loss to Memphis. The 59 attempts are a school record, while the 34 completions is second. Also in 2005, on Sept. 24 in a win over Northern Illinois, Getsy threw a school-record five touchdown passes.

Getsy, who owns 24 school records, is a two-time Academic All-MAC selection.
