Toronto Argonauts Make Strategic Signing
The Toronto Argonauts have fortified their lineup by acquiring American wide receiver Savon Scarver, an announcement that came Wednesday. At 25 years of age, Scarver contributes both talent and young vigor to the Argonauts’ roster.
Savon Scarver’s Past CFL and College Achievements

During his time with the REDBLACKS, he caught seven passes, accumulating 69 yards and contributed in punt returns. Following an impressive stint at Utah State University, where he tallied 757 yards from 55 receptions and scored five touchdowns, the Las Vegas native caught the eye of the NFL’s Chicago Bears, albeit briefly.
