The former member of the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savage Storm spent three seasons in Alberta from 2019-2022. In 45 CFL games, he collected 127 defensive tackles and two on special teams. He also added three interceptions and a forced fumble.
“Raheem’s in-season arrival in 2022 was a great addition for the team,” says Alouettes head coach Jason Maas. “In a short period of time, he was able to become a starter, showing off his speed on the field. He has been a great addition to our defensive unit, and we are happy to have him back.”
