Originally joining the Lions as the club's fourth-round CFL Draft selection in 2016, the sophomore standout enjoyed a productive campaign in 2017 recording 30 receptions for 521 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

"Shaq demonstrated last season that when given the opportunity to contribute, he's capable of taking his game to another level," said head coach Wally Buono. "He's going to be a key part of our offence this season and his return is very good news for the club."
