Jevon was signed by the Lions as a territorial-protected junior player in December 2018. This January, he signed a three-year extension with the team through 2026.

Highlights:

2025: The Big Cat once again made his impact on the Lions’ offence, recording 55 receptions for 681 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in 16 regular season contests. Cottoy’s best outing was in the October 4 Gravy Bowl win over Calgary with eight receptions for 99 yards and one major. He then had five catches for 61 yards in two Grey Cup Playoff games.

2024: Due to injuries, Jevon was limited to 12 regular season games but would still haul in 34 receptions for 401 yards and followed that up by recording three receptions for 82 yards, including a 56-yard catch-and-run touchdown, in the Western Semi-Final at Saskatchewan.

2023: For a third consecutive year, Cottoy started every regular season game for the Lions while hauling in 57 receptions for 807 yards and four touchdowns, all of which totaled new career highs. Cottoy’s 807 yards was the third-highest amongst Lion receivers. He then added six catches for 63 yards in the Western Semi-Final win over Calgary.

2022: Jevon started all 18 regular season contests in 2022 and would record 50 receptions for 551 yards and matched his career-high of three touchdown catches. Made his playoff debut in the Western Semi-Final win over Calgary and hauled in three catches for 30 yards the next week at Winnipeg in the Western Final.

2021: Jevon took another positive step forward in the offence this past season, recording 39 receptions for 519 yards and three touchdowns. His receiving yard total was good for third on the squad behind only Bryan Burnham and Lucky Whitehead.

2019: Jevon enjoyed a remarkable breakout season after a head-turning training camp audition that resulted in a starting role on offence. Appearing in 16 games and hauling in 38 passes for 386 yards along with a touchdown, Jevon’s contributions earned him a team nomination as Most Outstanding Rookie.

Junior:

2018: Jevon lit up the junior ranks with the Langley Rams of the BCFC  in 2018 tallying 39 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns over an eight-game span. Saving his best performances for the postseason, the Calgary-born standout also piled up another 645 yards and eight majors on 25 catches through four playoff games. The lofty regular season numbers earned him a BCFC All-Star selection.

2014-2017: Prior to his time with the Rams, Jevon spent a pair of seasons with the Prairie Football Confrence’s Calgary Colts in 2014 and 2015. Set to enter the University of Calgary in the fall of 2016, the hulking receiver suffered a knee injury. He spent 2017 returning to form before moving west to BC.
