Former Arizona quarterback Matt Scott found a new NFL home Friday.

Scott, who threw for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior in 2012, was claimed off of waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ProFootballTalk.com.

A one-year starter with the Wildcats, Scott went undrafted before spending all of last season on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad.

During the 2013 preseason, Scott completed 18 of 40 passes for 170 yards and an interception.

With the addition of Scott, the Bengals now have four quarterbacks in the fold, including Andy Dalton, A.J. McCarron and Jason Campbell.
