Saskatchewan Roughriders

On the first day of free agency, on February 9, 2021, Onyeka signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[7] He made a career-high eight defensive tackles against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on September 11, 2021, in the Banjo Bowl.[5] On February 15, 2023, Onyeka re-signed with the Roughriders.[8]
