Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse linebacker Dyshawn Davis has signed with the Canadian Football League's BC Lions, the team announced on Thursday.

After going undrafted in 2015, Davis signed as a free agent with the Washington Redskins. He played in three preseason games before being waived.

Davis was a four-year starter for the Orange, appearing in 49 games and recording 232 total tackles, including 37.5 for loss. He logged a career-high 71 tackles as a senior in 2014 to go with six tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and two pass deflections.

Marquis Spruill, a former SU linebacker who started alongside Davis from 2011-13, signed with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts earlier this April.
