Columbia, SC (WOLO) – According to the Montreal Alouettes’ social media sites (Facebook and Twitter) they have signed former South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia.

Garcia took part in the Alouettes camp back in May. Garcia threw for 7,597 yards, 47 touchdowns and 41 interceptions at South Carolina. The announcement was made on the team’s Facebook/Twitter pages earlier today: “Quarterback Stephen Garcia has been added to the Alouettes roster.
