Here's the Rewritten Article:
🕙 Just In: The Montreal Alouettes have inked deals with two new players—one on defense and one on offense—boosting their roster for the upcoming season.
First up, the CFL team has secured the services of Canadian defensive lineman Ifenna Onyeka, agreeing to a three-year contract. Prior to this, Onyeka had initially signed with the Toronto Argonauts in December following the 2024 CFL Draft where he was picked in the fifth round, 45th overall, by the Argonauts.
A product of Ontario, Onyeka showcased his skills while playing for Carleton University in 2024, recording an impressive 22.5 tackles, including 12 for losses, nine sacks, and one forced fumble.
Next, the Alouettes welcomed American offensive lineman Jarrett Horst on board, signing a two-year pact. Standing tall at 6'6" and weighing 305 lbs, Horst previously joined the Miami Dolphins in 2023 before moving to the Michigan Panthers in the USFL in 2024. During his tenure with the Panthers, he played a significant role in helping his team achieve the second-best rushing record (1252 yards) and contributed to a total yard record of 3007, finishing third.
While the available search results don't provide a detailed account of Onyeka's collegiate career statistics, it's worth noting that he spent five years in college from 2019 to 2024, racking up a considerable number of tackles and accolades during that time.
On the contrary, Horst's career statistics and past teams, beyond his USFL stint with the Michigan Panthers, remain unclear based on the information gathered. But rest assured, both players bring valuable experience and skill sets to the Montreal Alouettes, bolstering the team's defense and offense.
