MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes announced on Tuesday that the team has signed National receiver Daniel Oladejo, American linebackers K.D. Davis and Tre Thomas, as well as American offensive lineman Ed Montilus. All were signed through the 2026 season.

In 15 games, he registered 38 yards on four receptions. The receiver also played for the Ottawa Gee-Gees, accumulating 781 yards on 63 receptions and six touchdowns during his career. He was named to the OUA All-Star second team in 2022.
