He set career-highs in 2019 with 11 solo tackles and 30 total tackles in eight games. He also had four tackles for losses and one sack.

The six-foot-three, 270-pound Fordham-Miller won the Vanier Cup in 2017 and helped the Mustangs return to the national championship game in 2018. They were OUA finalists in 2019.

He wasn’t chosen in the CFL draft after taking part in the league’s regional combine this spring.

His arrival gives the Ticats six defensive tackles in training camp.
