Ottawa Redblacks defensive back Antoine Pruneau inks three-year extension

OTTAWA — An original Ottawa Redblack is staying with the team through 2021.

The Redblacks signed Canadian defensive back Antoine Pruneau to a three-year extension on Thursday. In 84 career CFL games, all with Ottawa, the Montreal native has 293 defensive tackles, 54 on special teams, four sacks, eight interceptions, a forced fumble and a touchdown.

Pruneau was picked fourth overall in the 2014 CFL draft after two all-Canadian U Sports seasons at Montreal.

The Redblacks also inked Canadian fullback JC Beaulieu to a two-year deal.

“These are two quality players and people and we’re happy to have them back in Ottawa moving forward,” said Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins.
