The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have signed American linebacker TaMuarion Wilson.
The six-foot-two, 220-pound native of Bryant, Ark., appeared in 53 games over five seasons at the University of Central Arkansas, primarily as a safety. A three-time all-conference honouree and a third-team FCS All-American selection as a senior, he compiled 355 career tackles, 26 tackles for loss, three sacks, 22 pass breakups, eight interceptions, and five forced fumbles as a Bear.
Wilson went unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft and later attended rookie mini-camp with the Buffalo Bills, but did not receive a contract. He was previously on the negotiation list of the Toronto Argonauts, but was removed on January 12 before being added by the Ticats the following day and later signed.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats finished first in the East Division standings in 2025 with an 11-7 record, though the team lost the East Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Bo Levi Mitchell led the CFL with 5,296 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions after starting all 18 regular-season games, earning the East Division’s nomination for Most Outstanding Player.
The Tiger-Cats ranked third in net offence, eighth in net defence, and first with a turnover differential of plus-ten. The club’s leading rusher was Greg Bell with 1,038 yards, the leading receiver was Kenny Lawler with 1,443 yards, and the leading tackler was Stavros Katsantonis with 69 tackles. Hamilton ranked fourth in attendance with average crowds of 22,858, which was a 3.9 percent increase from the previous year.
