Gatkuoth, a product of Edmonton, was the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' fourth overall pick in last month's CFL Canadian Draft.

With significant vacancies in the club's secondary, the 25-year-old hopes to parlay his success as a specialist into a full-time starting role on defence.

Dante Daniels says he was an emotional kid and was quick to tears. Fast-forward to today, however, and that sensitive boy has grown into a 272-pound rookie tight end.

The Bombers had six quarterbacks on the field to start rookie camp including Taylor Elgersma.

The Bombers selected four players on offence, four players on defence, and a special teamer in Tuesday's CFL Canadian Draft.

The Bombers used their first-round pick at fourth overall on defensive end Nuer Gatkuoth from Wake Forest.

Linebacker Adam Bighill signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Blue Bombers on Monday.

The Bombers finally have Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma under contract after drafting him in the 2025 CFL Draft.

The Winnipeg Football Club had a record-breaking operating profit of $12.1 million in 2025 after selling out every game.

Former Blue Bombers quarterback Chris Streveler posted a video on Instagram hinting at his retirement.
