The Toronto Argonauts have signed American DT Ralph Holley back following a stint with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.

The 6-foot-1, 285-pound linemen joined Toronto late in 2023 before breaking out in 2024. The 26-year-old finished tied for first in the CFL in sacks with eight, while chipping in 22 defensive tackles and one forced fumble in 16 games.

Holley added a sack and a tackle in three postseason games in 2024, ultimately helping Toronto win the 111th Grey Cup.

The Western Michigan product played 50 games at WMU, racking up 138 tackles, 45.5 tackles for loss, 20.5 sacks, five pass knockdowns, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He was named first-team All-Conference in 2020 and Second-Team in 2021.
