Onyeka returns to Ottawa in 2023 for his fourth season both in the league and as a member of the REDBLACKS. During the 2022 season the defensive lineman enjoyed the highest production of his career. The Lagos, Nigeria native, who grew up in Brampton, Ontario, appeared in 17 games, recording 26 total tackles, five sacks, and a forced fumble.
“I’m very happy to sign on for another two years with the REDBLACKS,” said Onyeka. “I’m just happy to get to do what I love in a place that I love.”
A product of the Carleton Ravens, Onyeka was selected in the fourth round of the 2018 CFL Draft by the REDBLACKS.
