WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have added non import linebacker Giancarlo Rapanaro to their roster today.
Rapanaro (Niagara Falls, Ont.) played four years with the Golden Hawks, starting his last three at linebacker. He's coming off his best season where he registered 37.5 tackles, 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble and three interceptions on his way to being named an OUA first-team all-star and a second-team all-Canadian. In his first full season starting, Rapanaro was tied for second in the league with eight sacks and also recovered two fumbles returning one of them for a touchdown.
