WR Dymere Miller Signs With Toronto Argonauts; LB Enock Makonzo Also Added

The Toronto Argonauts announced the signings of American wide receiver Dymere Miller and Canadian linebacker Enock Makonzo in a club release carried Feb. 18, 2026. Miller, listed at 5-foot-11 and 184 pounds, arrives with a resume highlighted by Monmouth single-season records of 90 receptions and 1,293 receiving yards and a 2024 season at Rutgers where he caught 59 passes for 757 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games.

Miller finished his Monmouth tenure with 168 receptions for 2,387 yards and 17 touchdowns, and was named an FCS All‑American in his senior year, the Argos’ release says. Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano called Miller “very fast” and a “one-year guy,” saying he expected Miller to “come in here and have an immediate contribution and impact on our team” when Rutgers signed him as a transfer. Some outlets list slightly different Monmouth totals, Yahoo reported 169 catches for 2,408 yards and a senior season of 90 catches for 1,295 yards and nine touchdowns, a minor variance the club release did not adopt.

On Miller’s pro timeline, the Argos and CFL.ca note he “most recently spent time with the New York Jets in 2025.” 3DownNation adds that Miller was an undrafted free agent with the Jets in 2025 and did not see regular-season action. Those particulars frame Miller as a high-production FCS receiver who took the Rutgers transfer route and spent a year on an NFL roster path before landing in the CFL.

Enock Makonzo, listed at 5-foot-10 and 189 pounds, brings prior CFL pedigree to Toronto after being selected fourth overall in the 2022 CFL Draft by the Edmonton Elks. Makonzo played 22 regular-season games for Edmonton, recording 67 defensive tackles, one special teams tackle, two sacks and two forced fumbles, the Argos release and CFL.ca note. Makonzo’s recent availability is tied to injury history; CFL.ca states he became a free agent in February after missing all of 2025 with an injury, while 3DownNation reports he was cut by Edmonton in 2024 and had subsequent stints with Hamilton and Winnipeg but was unable to play because of injury.

The signings come with roster context: Toronto finished 2025 at 5-13, third in the East Division, after a season that saw Nick Arbuckle throw for 4,370 yards, 26 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, according to 3DownNation. Adding Miller supplies the Argos with a proven college target who posted 59 catches and 757 yards at an FBS stop in 2024 and a history of school records at Monmouth, potentially upgrading receiver depth and bringing the speed Greg Schiano highlighted. Makonzo supplies interior linebacker experience and a track record of 67 defensive tackles and two forced fumbles in the CFL, a veteran presence for a defense that missed the playoffs in 2025.

Strategically, Toronto’s moves underline two trends: CFL clubs scouring FCS and transfer markets for playmakers and using CFL veteran reclamation to restock defenses, and FCS players leveraging All‑America seasons and transfer windows into multiple pro pathways, from NFL training-camp stints to Canadian contracts. For Miller, a Coatesville, Pennsylvania native and FCS All‑American, the Argos contract is the next chapter in a path from Monmouth records to Rutgers production and an NFL cup of coffee to a CFL opportunity where immediate impact is expected.
