The BC Lions announced today announced three international defensive linemen including Tim Jackson, Jamarkus McFarland and Andre Monroe have agreed to terms on contracts with the team.
Jackson joins the Lions after an effective four-year stay at North Carolina where the Florida native appeared in 45 games recording 33 defensive tackles and a sack. An undrafted free agent signing of the Carolina Panthers, he attended training camp with the club last year before being waived.
McFarland attended Oklahoma where he too enjoyed a productive collegiate career tallying 47 games for the Sooners and notching 38 tackles and six sacks. Jamarkus was an undrafted free agent signing of the San Diego Chargers last year.
Monroe will make his Lions debut later this month after having his negotiation rights obtained by the club in a recent trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Washington, D.C. native was a standout at Maryland logging 35 appearances over four years with the Terps piling-up 70 tackles, 32 of which were for a loss to go along with 22 sacks. He recently had mini-camp invites from the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers before signing with the Leos.
All three newcomers will hit the field with fellow first-year Lions in Kamloops for a mini-camp beginning on Thursday, May 28. BC Lions Training Camp presented by Sun Peaks Resort begins on Sunday, June 1 in Kamloops, BC.
