Linebacker Alex Singleton an impact player in Calgary Stampeders secondary
CALGARY — A torrid pace in tackles combined with long hair erupting from his helmet in post-play celebration poses, Alex Singleton is having a CFL season that commands attention.
The Calgary Stampeders middle linebacker is tied for the league lead in defensive tackles at 80 alongside a master in the art — B.C. Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian.
The Stampeders (9-1-1) will host Elimimian and the Lions (6-5) on Saturday at McMahon Stadium.
Calgary is coming off gruelling back-to-back wins over the Edmonton Eskimos that thinned both teams’ ranks with injuries.
