Pro football: Ex-Badger Donovan signs with CFL

Former University of Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Donovan recently signed a three-year contract with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League, according to his agent, John Paul Perla Jr. of Brookfield.

Donovan, who threw for 2,607 yards and last season while leading the Badgers to a 9-4 record in his lone season as the primary starter, agreed to terms on March 18 after participating in a minicamp in Edmonton earlier this month.

The Eskimos are bringing four quarterbacks to camp, including Ricky Rae, who was fourth overall in passing yards last year in the CFL.
