HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have signed national offensive lineman Brandon Revenberg to a contract extension through the 2020 season, the team announced Monday.

Revenberg, 25, started all 18 of Hamilton’s regular season games at left guard and also saw action at centre in 2018. During his first-two CFL seasons (2016-17), he has appeared in all 36 regular season games for the Tiger-Cats, making 24 starts at left guard.

The versatile offensive lineman also started the 2016 Eastern Semi-Final against Edmonton at right tackle.

“Rev has proven to be one of the best young Canadian offensive linemen in the CFL,” said June Jones, head coach of the Tiger-Cats. “It’s extremely important to build with your nationals, especially when they’re as talented and versatile as Brandon. We’re very happy to have him signed long-term.”

The 6-foot-4, 301-pound native of Essex, Ont. was selected by the Tiger-Cats in the first round, third overall, in the 2016 CFL Draft. Prior to turning pro, Revenberg played 32 games at Grand Valley State University from 2012 to 2014, earning three varsity letters.

He played every position on the offensive line during his time at Grand Valley State, and was named to the Academic All-GLIAC team in 2014.
