Montreal – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that they have signed American linebacker Tyrice Beverette to a one-year extension, keeping him in Montreal through 2026. Beverette was already under contract for the 2025 season.
The Lakewood, N.J. native was named to the All-CFL team in 2024 and was a finalist for the league’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player award. The Stony Brook University alum was unanimously chosen as the Alouettes’ Most Outstanding Player and Most Outstanding Defensive Player for the past season.
Beverette (6’0″, 203 pounds) started all 18 games last season. He led the league with 137 defensive plays and ranked fourth in the CFL with 102 defensive tackles. The 29-year-old also topped the league with four forced fumbles, and recorded two interceptions and five sacks.
“Tyrice had an amazing year with us. He is definitely one of our leaders on defense, and this signing is huge for our team,” said Danny Maciocia, general manager of the Alouettes. “I remain convinced that the best is yet to come for him. In 2025, he will be playing his fourth year with the Alouettes, and I truly believe he will continue his success.”
Beverette joined the Alouettes in 2022 after spending two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
