MONTREAL -- Tomas Silva, a kicker with the McGill University Redmen, was added to the active roster by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, Monday.
He joins Calgary long-snapper Randy Chevrier as one of only two McGill grads currently on a CFL roster.
Silva, a 24-year-old native of Kingston, Ont., played just one season with the Redmen after transferring from the University of Western Ontario last fall. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder finished fifth among CIS punting leaders last season, averaging 40.1 yards per punt over nine games.
He led the CIS in both punts (93) and yardage (3,730). Silva, who took the roster spot of import defensive back Courtney Bryan, also registered one kickoff for 40.0 yards, went 2-for-2 in field-goal attempts, including a successful 37-yarder and added a rouge on a punt single.
