REGINA – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that the club has added national offensive lineman Simon Légaré to the practice roster.
Légaré (6’4″, 275 lbs.), who was selected in the sixth round with the 47th overall pick of the CFL Canadian Draft in 2013, has joined his teammates in Regina in preparation for their game against the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg on Friday.
The 24-year-old Montreal native helped the Carabins finish the 2012 season with an 8-1 record and was a fixture on an offensive line which ranked second in the Quebec conference in points per game with 33.2. He was named to the Quebec All-Star team in 2010. In his first season in the CIS, Légaré blocked for safety Marc-Olivier Brouillette, the team’s starting quarterback who now plays at linebacker for the Alouettes. He saw his 2013 season end prematurely because of a knee injury suffered early that season.
The Alouettes also announced that the team has released national defensive back Michael Carter, international offensive lineman Michael Simons, national defensive lineman Ameet Pall as well as international running back Brandon Rutley.
