The Calgary Stampeders have agreed to terms with Canadian running back Jeshrun Antwi, per sources.

The five-foot-eleven, 207-pound ball-carrier was originally a sixth-round pick of the Montreal Alouettes but was traded to the B.C. Lions late this past season. He has rushed for 1,098 yards, caught 52 passes for 342 yards, and scored one touchdown over 64 career regular-season games, winning a Grey Cup with the Alouettes in 2023. He is also valuable on special teams, making 12 tackles this past season.

Born in Israel, Antwi moved to Calgary, Alta. at the age of 12 and played collegiately at the University of Calgary. He rushed 366 times for 2,233 yards, caught 55 passes for 479 yards, and scored 23 total touchdowns with the Dinos, helping them win the Vanier Cup in 2019.

Pending free agents can negotiate with teams across the league during the current window, which closes on February 9. Players can agree to terms on a contract with a particular team for 2025, however, these deals aren’t legally binding and can’t be finalized or made official until after free agency opens on February 11.
