Zach Collaros leads Winnipeg Blue Bombers back to CFL’s Grey Cup

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros (8) throws the game ball into the crowd during the last minute of the fourth quarter during the Canadian football League Western Conference Final game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at IG Field in Winnipeg on Dec. 5.

Former Cincinnati Bearcats standout quarterback Zach Collaros will look to lead the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to another Grey Cup win against his former team, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, when the two meet Sun., Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. Eastern in the Canadian Football League's championship game.

Two years ago, Collaros led Winnipeg to a 33-12 Grey Cup win against Hamilton - the Blue Bombers' first title since 1990.

Collaros and the Blue Bombers advanced to the 108th Grey Cup with a 21-17 win in Sunday's Western Final against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

In July 2019, the Roughriders traded Collaros to Toronto, where he had started his CFL career. The 2018 season was Collaros' first with the Roughriders, but he spent the previous four seasons as the Ticats' starting quarterback and led them to a Grey Cup appearance in 2014.

Former Bearcats linebacker Kevin Brown II played in seven games this past season for Winnipeg.

Former La Salle High School and Ohio State Buckeyes standout DeVier Posey was the MVP of the Grey Cup in 2017 for the Toronto Argonauts.
