“We are happy that Dante is returning in 2022. On top of being talented, he demonstrates great character, which is really appreciated in the locker room. He will be called upon even more next season and we know that he will positively respond to having more responsibilities,” said Alouettes General Manager Danny Maciocia.
In two seasons with the Alouettes, the former Glenville State College Pioneer made 13 catches for 174 yards and one touchdown in seven games.
