Oramasionwu, 32, was a Canada West all-star and helped the Manitoba Bisons win the 2007 Vanier Cup.
He broke into the CFL with Winnipeg Blue Bombers after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2008 CFL Draft. He played three seasons in the blue and gold before joining the green and gold as a free agent. He went on to play five seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos, winning the Grey Cup in 2015.
