The BC Lions Football Club today announced that international receivers Montario Hunter and Tyler Davis have signed with the team.
Hunter (6’1”, 190) attended training camp with the Seattle Seahawks in 2016 following workouts with both the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers. The North Carolina native split his collegiate playing days at Elon University and Elizabeth City State.
Davis (5’10”, 180) makes his way to the Lions after a short stint with the Miami Dolphins in 2016 preceded by a very successful two-year run in Germany. The Missouri-Valley grad saw action on both sides of the ball and earned league MVP honours in 2015 with the Kiel Hurricanes after tallying 94 receptions for 1,733 yards and 24 touchdowns along with six interceptions as a defensive back.
During his first season in 2014 with the Munich Cowboys, he recorded 28 receptions for 686 yards and six picks on defence.
The Lions will invite approximately 40 players to take part in a three-day mini-camp at their Surrey practice facility from April 26-28.
