Veteran linebacker Sankey on nice late-season roll with surging B.C. Lions

Darnell Sankey, the veteran linebacker for the B.C. Lions, is enjoying a successful late-season stretch with the team. Over the Lions' last four games, Sankey has recorded 37 defensive tackles, including one for loss. His standout performance was against Toronto, where he logged 10 tackles in a 31-24 win and contributed to a season-high 10 tackles in a 24-17 victory over Montreal.

Sankey's dominant play was evident in the Lions' game-ending goal-line stand against Toronto, where he made tackles on two of the Argos' final three offensive plays. Dominating at 242 pounds, Sankey currently ranks third overall in tackles (94, four for loss) and second in total defensive plays with 112. With only three games left in the regular season, Sankey is on track to reach 100 tackles for a third consecutive year and fourth time in his six-season CFL career.
