B.C. Lions News Release


(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club today announced they have signed international defensive backs Alex Tillman and Myron Lewis along with international linebacker Terrance Bullitt.

Tillman joins the Lions following a productive collegiate career and an impressive showing at the club's recent free agent camp in Seattle, Washington. The North Dakota grad started all 12 games last season for the Fighting Sioux recording 31 solo stops and an interception.

Lewis is the most experienced of the newcomers at defensive back beginning his playing days as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who selected him in the third round (67th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft. He appeared in 28 games over three seasons with the Bucs before being waived in 2012. Following a training camp stint with the Detroit Lions in 2013, Lewis spent time in the camp of the Edmonton Eskimos in 2014 and with the Arena Football League's Las Vegas Outlaws in 2015.

Bullitt was an undrafted free agent signing of the Baltimore Ravens last year after notable four-year run at Texas Tech. The hard-hitting linebacker appeared in 47 games for the Red Raiders notching 97 solo tackles, 16 of which were for a loss.

All three newcomers will hit the field with fellow first-year Lions in Kamloops for a mini-camp beginning on Thursday, May 28.

BC Lions Training Camp presented by Sun Peaks Resort begins on Sunday, May 31 in Kamloops, BC.
