"REDBLACKS re-sign original REDBLACK Antoine Pruneau"

The Ottawa REDBLACKS have re-signed a crucial member of their leadership core, coming to terms with defensive back Antoine Pruneau on a one-year extension. 

Drafted fourth overall by the REDBLACKS in 2014, Pruneau has appeared in 104 CFL games, recording 417 tackles, four sacks, 10 interceptions, four forced fumbles, and a touchdown. The Montreal native has been a key component of Ottawa’s success since entering the league, helping the team to their first Grey Cup win in 2016, and earning CFL All-Star honours in 2017.

During the 2021 campaign, the 32 year-old Pruneau dressed for 11 games, tallying 40 total tackles, and an interception to seal the win over the Edmonton Elks in his 100th CFL game.
