Rookie linebacker Geoffrey Cantin-Arku putting up solid numbers for first-place Montreal Alouettes
Cantin-Arku has played 602 snaps this season with Montreal despite being listed as the backup to standout middle linebacker Darnell Sankey. Cantin-Arku has taken 435 snaps on defence and another 167 on special teams and excelled in both.
“Yes, I had a big game but I think it was a team win,” Cantin-Arku said. “We came out in the second half and didn’t allow any points on defence and the offence got going and special teams were a big part to. Linebacker Tyrice Beverette leads the CFL in total defensive plays while Sankey is sixth . Beverette is third overall in tackles with Sankey fifth . Beverette and Sankey are also 1-2 in forced fumbles with four and three, respectively.
Cantin-Arku was second behind Stanford receiver Elic Ayomanor in voting for the 2023 Jon Cornish Trophy as Canada’s outstanding NCAA player. He was Memphis’s second-leading tackler with a sack, interception, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and blocked kick. Cantin-Arku credits Montreal defensive co-ordinator Noel Thorpe with knowing where best to utilize players within his defence.
