The Washington Wolfpack announced that OL Tairiq Stewart signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Head Coach JR Wells shared in a release, “Tairiq is the kind of man who confirms the vision we're building.

CFL is next, and the NFL after that. Washington is rooting for you, brother. You're the first of many who will rise from this program."
