He was named first-team All-AAC in his senior season with the Green Waves.
The Alouettes also released American linebacker C.J. Avery, who signed with the team in January 2024.
The six-foot, 230-pound native of Grenada, Miss. made 249 total tackles, 8.5 sacks, three interceptions, and 19 pass knockdowns over 59 games at the University of Louisville. He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2022 but was waived with an injury designation.
