Seventh-round draft choice Pat McQuistan, an offensive lineman from Weber State, agreed to a four-year deal with the Cowboys on Monday, his agent Ken Staninger said. Financial terms were not disclosed.

McQuistan is the first of eight draft picks to reach a deal with the Cowboys. He will sign his contract when he reports to training camp Thursday in Oxnard, Calif.

The 6-foot-6, 314-pound McQuistan played guard and tackle last season. He was the 211th pick overall and one of two offensive linemen (Texas Tech’s E.J. Whitley was the other) taken by the Cowboys in the seventh round.
