The BC Lions Football Club announced today that import defensive lineman Jeremy Geathers has been signed by the team and placed on the practice roster.

Geathers appeared in 23 games over two years with UNLV (’06-’07) and registered 18.5 sacks before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the New Orleans Saints in 2008. The Louisiana native was released in training camp that year and most recently played for the Spokane Shock of the Arena Football League.
