The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have signed American quarterback Mike Glass III.
Glass spent training camp in 2023 with the Montreal Alouettes and dressed for both preseason games, completing five-of-seven passes for 47 yards. He lost out to Caleb Evans and Davis Alexander in the race to back up new franchise quarterback Cody Fajardo.
The six-foot, 209-pound passer was a standout at Eastern Michigan University, throwing for 4,193 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over two seasons with the Eagles (2018-19). He also carried the ball 189 times for 840 yards and 14 touchdowns.
The 25-year-old initially started his collegiate career at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Calif. where he threw for 1,399 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions in 2016.
Prior to arriving in the CFL, Glass was a backup with the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League. He made his first career start in April 2022 and threw for 146 yards and four touchdowns in a 36-22 win over the Iowa Barnstormers.
The Tiger-Cats (3-5) are set to host the Edmonton Elks (0-9) on Thursday, August 17.
