Edmonton retains safety Jordan Hoover, fullback Alexandre Dupuis

The Edmonton Football Team have extended defensive back Jordan Hoover and fullback Alexandre Dupuis through the 2021 season.

Jordan Hoover was originally selected by the EE Football Team 31st overall in the fourth round of the 2017 CFL Draft. Over his three year CFL career, the Waterloo product has accumulated 65 tackles, 18 special teams tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble. He was used primarily as the team’s starting safety in 2019, but has spent some time as a cornerback in his career.

Alexandre Dupuis is a CFL veteran having played in 75 games from 2014 to 2018. Over his career he has been well regarded for his blocking, but he has also contributed 24 receptions for 255 yards on offence.

He and his girlfriend, 3-time Olympic medalist Meaghan Benfeito, recently lost their condo in a tragic house fire and have started a GoFundMe which can be accessed here.
