Tyreik McAllister is back in the CFL.
The American running back/returner signed with the Calgary Stampeders on Tuesday.
The five-foot-10, 185-pound McAllister spent the 2023 season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, appearing in 16 regular-season games. He registered 41 kickoff returns for 1,037 yards, 56 punt returns for 602 yards and seven missed-field-goal returns for 408 yards and a touchdown.
He also had 27 catches for 364 yards and two touchdowns while running 13 times for 52 yards. McAllister’s 2,463 all-purpose yards led the CFL, as was his 25.3-yard average on kickoffs, and he was Hamilton’s nominee for the league’s top special-teams performer.
McAllister signed with the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 and after scoring two touchdowns during the pre-season he made three regular-season appearances. McAllister re-signed with the Raiders in January 2025 but was released May 12.
He was most recently under contract with the Columbus Aviators of the United Football League.
