Westernâ??s Pawel Kruba signs with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Western Mustangs linebacker Pawel Kruba has signed a contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, as announced by the team earlier today.
The Social Sciences student spent five seasons with the purple and white, finishing his Mustangs career on a high note this past season when he earned the President’s Trophy as the CIS defensive player of the year. A two-time OUA All-Star, Kruba earned CIS First Team All-Canadian honours in 2013 after a campaign that saw him record 38 tackles, including 29 solo, one forced fumble, and three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown. Over his entire CIS career, the Windsor native racked up 116 total tackles, 44 tackles for loss, and five interceptions.
Kruba’s signing makes him the third former Mustangs player on the current Ti-Cats roster, joining 2005 Hec Crighton winner Andy Fantuz and defensive back Harold Mutobola.
