The Toronto Argonauts have signed Canadian linebackers Cameron Judge and Paul Kozachuk.

Judge, 26, was the West Division’s top Canadian last season after registering 61 tackles, 11 special-teams tackles, five sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery with Saskatchewan. The six-foot-two, 235-pound Montreal native was taken sevond overall in 2017 CFL draft and appeared in 38 games with the Riders, accumulating 102 tackles, 18 special-teams tackles, seven sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one touchdown.

“Cameron is a game-changer,” Argos defensive co-ordinator Glen Young said in a statement. “He’s intelligent, tough, extremely versatile and a great tackler.

“He is everything you look for, not only in a linebacker but in a great defensive leader. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to work with an athlete of this calibre.”

Kozachuk, 26, played 30 games over two seasons with Montreal (2018-2019). The native of London, Ont., recorded 17 special-teams tackles and one defensive tackle over that span.
