Ottawa RedBlacks News Release
OTTAWA - The Ottawa REDBLACKS have signed 2023 first overall draft pick, national offensive lineman Dontae Bull to a CFL rookie contract, the team announced today.
"When drafting a player first overall, we want to have the ability to have them at training camp, to get started," said General Manager Shawn Burke. "Dontae understood that, and we're excited to have him under contract to be an Ottawa REDBLACK."
Bull, 24, spent the last five seasons with Fresno State, appearing in 37 games, altogether. The Victoria, British Columbia product entered the year as All-Mountain West offensive lineman, and started at right tackle for all seven games he suited up in during the 2022 campaign, before his season was cut short due to injury.
