OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks signed offensive lineman Zack Pelehos and fullback Marco Dubois to two-year contract extensions Monday.
Both 91Ô´´ players were slated to become free agents in February.
The Redblacks selected the six-foot-six, 300-pound Pelehos in the first round, second overall, in the 2022 CFL draft. The native of Gananoque, Ont., started 10-of-14 games in 2023 before becoming a full-time starter for the squad last season.
Pelehos is the second 91Ô´´ offensive lineman for the Redblacks to agree to a two-year extension, joining 2024 East Division all-star guard Drew Desjarlais, who re-signed Sept. 19.
Dubois has spent his entire six-year CFL career with Ottawa, which drafted the former Laval star in the second round, No. 13 overall, in 2018. Dubois had seven special-teams tackles in 17 games last season with the Redblacks while also registering two receptions for 54 yards.
