The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have added six American players: defensive backs Cam Allen, Trey Vaval, Isaiah Avery and Dexter Lawson Jr., linebacker Latavius Brini and receiver David Wallis.

Allen was most recently with the Denver Broncos in 2024 as an undrafted free agent following a collegiate career with the Purdue Boilermakers.

Vaval split his college career between Minnesota State and Missouri Western State. He joins the Bombers after attending training camp with the Atlanta Falcons last year.

Avery attended rookie minicamp with the San Francisco 49ers last season. He spent his college days at Portland State (2022-23), Liberty University (2019-21) and City College of San Francisco (2018).

Lawson Jr. spent the last two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, appearing in 13 games and registering 45 tackles and one interception.

Brini attended the Toronto Argonauts training camp last year and then joined the Montreal Alouettes before being released after the preseason. He first turned pro as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023 and appeared in three preseason games before being released.

Wallis turned pro with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He has also had NFL looks from the New York Giants and Chicago Bears.
