Winnipeg has made another move for a quarterback from Ottawa, acquiring the rights to Northern Arizona prospect Ty Pennington in exchange for American linebacker Kyahva Tezino.

Tezino had joined the Blue Bombers a little over a week earlier and was on the team’s practice roster when Winnipeg completed the swap on Wednesday.

Pennington is in his senior season at Northern Arizona University. The six-foot-two, 220-pound quarterback opened the season with two touchdown passes in the Lumberjacks’ victory last weekend.

In 25 collegiate games at Northern Arizona, Pennington has thrown for 5,568 yards, 34 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has 691 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. He won Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year in 2024.

Pennington will go on the Bombers’ exclusive negotiation list. Winnipeg also acquired quarterback Dru Brown from the RedBlacks in June.
