A receiver arrives with the Alouettes

Danny Maciocia's office has been busy since the start of 2026.

The Montreal Alouettes confirmed on Tuesday the signing of American wide receiver Jerreth Sterns. This acquisition is part of the organization's clear desire to solidify its offensive unit by adding a versatile and explosive player capable of making an immediate impact on the field.

Sterns, a 5'8″, 183-pound athlete, arrives in Montreal after a productive season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2025. During his time in Manitoba, he caught 48 passes, racking up 530 yards and finding the end zone four times. Before shining in Winnipeg, the 26-year-old Texan made a name for himself with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he racked up nearly 1,000 yards in two seasons.

Sterns has been a consistent producer throughout his career. At the university level, he made history at Western Kentucky in 2021 with a phenomenal season of 1,902 yards and 17 touchdowns. His talent opened the doors to the NFL, where he spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams in 2022.

A strategic asset for Danny Maciocia's offense

Sterns' arrival is not just about passing statistics; he also provides reinforcement for special teams, with his experience as a kick returner in the CFL. According to Danny Maciocia, the Alouettes' general manager, Sterns brings essential depth: “We believe we are a better team with his arrival,” he said in a statement.

By joining the Alouettes, Jerreth Sterns offers another option for the Montreal quarterback. His speed and ability to create plays after the catch will be major assets for the team's offensive system. As preparations for the 2026 season intensify, this move confirms Montreal's ambitions to remain a powerhouse at the top of the East Division.
