MISSISSAUGA – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club is pleased to announce that it has acquired Toronto-born LB Akwasi Antwi from the Calgary Stampeders in exchange for the rights to non-import DL Dan Federkeil (pro: Dan FADE-ER-KYLE). The Argonauts originally selected Federkeil with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 CFL Canadian Draft.
Commented Toronto Argonauts General Manager, Jim Barker, “Akwasi is an athletic Canadian linebacker who can play both special teams and defence. We’re excited to bring him home to Toronto.”
Antwi, a fourth round pick in the 2011 CFL Canadian Draft by Calgary, has appeared in 32 regular season games for the Stamps playing primarily on special teams with some action on defence. In his two years with the club, he has totalled 6 defensive tackles and 28 special teams tackles. Antwi was born in Toronto and played football for the Burlington Braves of the Canadian Junior Football League before suiting up for three seasons at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick.
