The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released American defensive back one week after demoting him to the practice roster.

The five-foot-eleven, 192-pound native of Minneapolis, Minn. started the first six games of the regular-season at field-side cornerback, recording 16 defensive tackles and two interceptions. He was replaced by Jamal Parker this past week, who was moved from safety as part of a shuffle across the secondary.

The 28-year-old joined the Blue Bombers as a rookie in 2024 and made one start at boundary halfback. He dressed for eight regular-season games and made seven defensive tackles and one forced fumbles.
