The agency representing free agent Austin Trainor announced Sunday that the 25-year-old quarterback had signed with the Ottawa Redblacks.



There was no announcement by the reigning Grey Cup champions, who are in the midst of training camp and will play their first Canadian Football League preseason game of 2017 at home against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night. That’s not necessarily unusual since making any contract official usually requires that the player passes a physical examination and the contract is registered with the CFL head office in Toronto.



However, the Twitter account of DEC Management headed by David Canter posted a notice late Sunday afternoon.

There are four quarterbacks on the Redblacks’ training camp roster already: expected starter Trevor Harris, veteran CFLer Drew Tate, Brock Jensen and Ryan Lindley.



Trainor, who will turn 26 on July 10, recently attended the rookie camp of the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. He played U.S. college football at both Florida A&M and West Georgia. In his senior season in 2013, Trainor was 65-for-139 for 870 yards with six touchdown passes and nine interceptions.
