OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks have re-signed defensive back De’Chavon Hayes, linebacker Christope Mulumba-Tshimanga and offensive lineman Tyler Catalina.

Hayes had 22 defensive tackles and three interceptions through seven games with the Redblacks in 2019.

Mulumba-Tshimanga has 53 defensive tackles, 34 special-teams tackles, with five sacks and four forced fumbles over 43 games with Edmonton.

He originally signed with the Redblacks prior to the 2020 season that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Catalina signed with Ottawa in February 2020 after a college career at Rhode Island and Georgia.
