Antwi joined the Montreal Alouettes and spent the better part of four seasons with the Larks – picking up a Grey Cup ring in 2023 – before being traded to the BC Lions late in the 2024 campaign.

In 68 career regular-season games in the Canadian Football League, Antwi has 1,098 rushing yards and one touchdown, 52 catches for 342 yards and 26 special-teams tackles. He has played seven post-season contests.

Antwi was born in Israel, moved to Kumasi, Ghana, at the age of five and came to Canada when he was 12 years old.
