VANCOUER, B.C. — Micah Awe is heading back to the B.C. Lions.

The team announced Monday that it has agreed to terms on a contract with the six-foot, 220-pound linebacker.

Awe spent the 2017 campaign with the Lions, appearing in 18 regular season games — getting the starting nod in the final nine — and collecting 54 tackles along the way.

The 24-year-old was released by the club in January to pursue an opportunity in the NFL. He signed a reserve/future contract with the New York Jets.
