VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions acquired Canadian running back Jeshrun Antwi from the Montreal Alouettes on Wednesday.

In return, the Alouettes received a third-round draft pick in 2025.

Antwi, a sixth-round Alouettes selection in 2019, totalled 1,021 rushing yards and one touchdown on 191 carries to go with 52 receptions for 342 yards in 61 games with Montreal.

The 26-year-old, who was born in Israel and moved from Ghana to Calgary at age 12, produced only 20 yards on 10 carries and five receptions for 21 yards this season.

Before the CFL, he played for the University of Calgary Dinos from 2015-19, rushing for 2,233 yards and 18 touchdowns.
