MONTREAL – The Alouettes announced on Wednesday that the club has signed non-import linebacker Walter Spencer to the practice roster.
Spencer (5’10”, 217 lbs.) is best known for his outstanding contributions on special teams and recently moved into fourth place on the CFL’s career all-time list for special teams tackles with 166. In 2011, he led the Alouettes with 19 special teams tackles, good for sixth in the league that year.
The 34-year-old rejoins Montreal after making three Grey Cup appearances during his five seasons with the Alouettes, winning back-to-back championships in 2009 and in 2010. A veteran of eight CFL seasons, he has played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary Stampeders and, most recently, the Toronto Argonauts with whom he won the CFL’s 100th Grey Cup last November.
The Alouettes have also added import quarterback Nathan Enderle to the practice roster.
Enderle (6’4”, 240 lbs.) was a fifth-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears (160th overall) in 2011 and spent the entire season on the active roster serving as the Bears’ third QB. Following his one-year stint in Chicago, in 2012 the 25-year-old attended the Jacksonville Jaguars’ training camp before spending time with both the Tennessee Titans and the San Diego Chargers leading up to the 2013 season.
The native of North Platte, Nebraska, started four years at the University of Idaho where he completed 779 of 1,427 pass attempts (54.6%) for 10,084 yards and 74 touchdowns during his collegiate career.
