McGloster Signs with CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Former Syracuse offensive tackle Jamar McGloster signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL) over the weekend. McGloster was one of two offensive linemen signed by the Blue Bombers on May 25, along with Wayne State product Israel Helms.

McGloster previously spent time in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers and Oakland Raiders. He signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the conclusion of the 2018 NFL Draft.

McGloster appeared in 30 games for the Orange from 2014-17. He started 24 games in a row at right tackle his last two seasons.

As a senior in 2017, McGloster was second on the team with 1,034 snaps played. He tallied 12 knockdown blocks and aided a Syracuse offense that ranked third in the ACC in total offense (456.3 ypg) and second in passing (294.8 ypg). Following the season, McGloster earned an invitation to the 2018 East-West Shrine Game.

McGloster is one of three former Orange standouts currently in training camp with CFL teams, along with Keon Lyn (BC Lions) and Dyshawn Davis (Saskatchewan Roughriders). Winnipeg hosts Edmonton in its second preseason game on Friday, May 31.
