The Calgary Stampeders have officially signed Canadian defensive back Godfrey Onyeka. 3DownNation reported the agreement during last week’s CFL free-agent window.

The six-foot-one, 200-pound native of Brampton, Ont. played 18 regular-season games with the Saskatchewan Roughriders this past season, making 10 special teams tackles.

The 30-year-old was originally a second-round pick in the 2018 CFL Draft by the Edmonton Elks. He has since played 66 career regular-season games with the Elks and Riders, making 31 defensive tackles and 33 special teams tackles.

The Wilfrid Laurier product was a three-time first-team All-Canadian with the Golden Hawks while playing at the collegiate level.
