Ottawa RedBlacks News Release
OTTAWA - The Ottawa REDBLACKS re-signed American defensive backs Abdul Kanneh and Corey Tindal Sr., the club announced today.
American defensive back, Abdul Kanneh
Kanneh spent the first three seasons of his career with the REDBLACKS, a run that ended with a Grey Cup, thanks in large part to a game-saving fingertip tackle by Kanneh in the championship game against Calgary. Ottawa would go on to win the game in overtime. After spending 2017 in Hamilton, Kanneh played two seasons in Toronto, suiting up for 24 games for the Argos. Kanneh had a career-high 70 defensive tackles in 2019 to go along with a sack, an interception and a forced fumble. Kanneh re-signed with Ottawa prior to the cancelled 2020 season.
