Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign trio of players, including home-grown product
Still trying to get over the Grey Cup hangover, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed three players on Wednesday, including a local product.
The Bombers completed new contracts with Manitoba Bisons receiver AK Gassama, long snapper Ian Leroux and American receiver Keilahn Harris.
The 25-year-old Gassama, who hails from Winnipeg, was the Bombers’ sixth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft. The former member of the Vincent Massey Trojans attended training camp with the club in the spring. He had one catch in the pre-season before returning to school with the Bisons where he posted the fourth highest receiving totals in the Canada West conference with 451 yards. He was named a conference all-star for the third straight season.
