University career
Bonhomme first played college football for the Indiana Hoosiers from 2019 to 2021.[1] He played in 24 games where he recorded 17 total tackles, two tackles for a loss, and one sack.[1][2] When he didn't receive much playing time in 2021, partially due to injuries, he transferred to the University of South Alabama to play for the Jaguars in 2022.[3][4] However, he played in just three games, recording six tackles, before suffering a broken ankle which required surgery and ended his season.[3][4]

After not playing football in 2023, but having a strong performance at the CFL Combine, Bonhomme was drafted in the second round, 10th overall, by the Edmonton Elks in the 2024 CFL draft and signed with the team on May 6, 2024.[4][5] Following training camp in 2024, he made the team's active roster and made his professional debut on June 8, 2024, against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[6] He played in nine regular season games in his rookie year, where he recorded three special teams tackles, before ending the year on the six-game injured list.[6]
