Montreal, October 4, 2021 – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Monday that the club has added Canadian linebacker Frédéric Plesius to the roster. He was then added to the suspended list during his mandatory quarantine period.
Plesius (6’1″, 245 lbs.) is making his third stint with the Alouettes after stops with the team in 2017 and 2019. The former Université Laval Rouge et Or played 85 games in the CFL with Hamilton, Montreal and Winnipeg, amassing 29 defensive tackles as well as 74 special teams tackles.
