HAMILTON – Shomari Williams is on the move.
A league source requesting anonymity said Friday the six-foot-one, 232-pound linebacker/defensive end signed Friday as a free agent with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Williams, 27, spent the last three seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and was the team’s second-leading tackler in 2012 with 59.
Saskatchewan selected Williams first overall in the 2010 CFL draft out of Queen’s.
The Toronto native capped his university career by helping Queen’s capture the Vanier Cup in 2009.
Williams began his college career at the University of Houston.
