The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Monday that they have signed Montreal-native and University of Southern Mississippi alum Tegra Izay. Izay will be making his professional debut with the Honey Badgers this season after a six-year collegiate career spanning through the University of Southern Mississippi, Harcum Community College, and La Salle University. “The addition of Tegra gives us size and another physical presence,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “He’s eager to start his professional career, and his work ethic and approach to the game align with our culture.

We’re excited about his growth and the edge he adds to our group." After Izay’s freshman season with La Salle University, he was awarded Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honour Roll, which recognizes student-athletes who achieved a combined GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Thursday that they have signed Hamilton-native and University of South Florida alum Joshua Omojafo. Omojafo is entering the CEBL for his first professional campaign after a highly successful four-year collegiate career at the University of South Florida, Robert Morris University, and Gannon University. Omojafo has been a winner through his whole career. As a starter with three different teams over the last three seasons, Omojafo has played a large part in bringing each one a conference championship. Most recently with the South Florida Bulls, he averaged 11.1 points and 5.3 rebounds en route to an American Conference championship and their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012 (fifth time in program history), where they nearly upset Louisville in the first round. “Josh is a proven winner at the collegiate level,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “His toughness, along with his willingness to defend and rebound, will be a valuable asset to our team. More importantly, Josh is eager to learn and develop as a professional, and we’re looking forward to supporting him throughout that process. We’re excited to welcome him to the Honey Badger family.” Omojafo is a versatile scorer, but where he stands out the most is drawing fouls. In his senior season, he ranked fifth in the American Conference in free throws made (151), second as a junior in the Horizon League Conference (127) with Robert Morris, and first in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) as a sophomore (244). “Josh brings a level of toughness, versatility, and competitive spirit that aligns with exactly who we want to be,” said Honey Badgers Head Coach Alex Cerda. “He impacts the game on both ends - defending multiple positions, playing with physicality, and consistently making winning plays. We’re excited about the edge, professionalism, and presence Josh Omojafo adds to our group and how he elevates the standard of our program every day.” Before transferring to Robert Morris University in 2024, Omojafo spent his first two seasons of college basketball in Division II with Gannon University. He quickly made his impact felt, ranking second in the conference in scoring as a sophomore while leading the Golden Knights to a PSAC championship. Individually as a sophomore, Omojafo also landed on the All-PSAC West Division First Team and NABC Division II All-America Team. Omojafo joins the Honey Badgers roster as the eighth addition ahead of the 2026 season, joining five other Canadians, 2025 CEBL MVP Finalist Sean East II, and 2025 CEBL Defensive Player of the Year Jameer Nelson Jr. The Brampton Honey Badgers will begin their season with two home games on Friday, May 15 and Sunday, May 17 versus the Ottawa BlackJacks and Calgary Surge, respectively.
