{allcanada} LIONS SIGNED IMPORT DEFENSIVE LINEMEN GEATHERS AND EVANS

The BC Lions signed import defensive linemen Jeremy Geathers and Maurice Evans on Monday.

Geathers returns to the Lions after a one-year absence following a serious knee injury in 2010. The UNLV grad had originally been signed by the Leos in August 2010 after a stint with the Spokane Shock of the AFL. Geathers appeared in just one game for the Lions and spent the 2011 season with the AFL's Chicago Rush. Most recently, he had returned to the Spokane Shock for the 2012 AFL campaign.

Evans joins the Lions following a number of NFL stops in 2009 and 2010 with the New York Giants, Tampa Bay, Carolina and Chicago. The former Penn State standout enjoyed a notable three-year college career including an All Big-Ten Freshman Team selection in 2006 and a 12.5-sack season as a sophomore in 2007.
