The Montreal Alouettes have selected UNLV OL Tiger Shanks with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 CFL Draft.

The six-foot-five, 325-pound blocker was a late addition to the draft as, despite being born in Vancouver, B.C., Shanks has spent almost his entire life in China and the United States.

The four-year starter is the only offensive lineman in UNLV’s program history to earn multiple All-Conference selections as he was named first-team All-Mountain West at left tackle in 2023 and 2024. According to Pro Football Focus, Shanks allowed only 11 pressures and one sack over 410 pass-blocking snaps and has the potential to stay at offensive tackle at the professional level.

Shanks didn't do any speed or quickness testing at his pro day due to a nagging hamstring injury, which may have been why he didn’t garner a contract after going unselected in the NFL draft.
