“Tyrice had an amazing year with us. He is definitely one of our leaders on defense, and this signing is huge for our team,” says Danny Maciocia, general manager of the Alouettes. “I remain convinced that the best is yet to come for him. In 2025, he will be playing his fourth year with the Alouettes, and I truly believe he will continue his success.”
Beverette joined the Alouettes in 2022 after two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
