The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed Canadian offensive lineman Noah Zerr for the 2024 season.

The native of Langenburg, Ssk. spent the 2023 season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, playing in three games. Originally selected 12th overall in the second round of the 2022 CFL Draft by the B.C. Lions, Zerr was cut by the team in training camp after playing just four games as a rookie.

The six-foot-seven, 330-pound blocker played five seasons at the University of Saskatchewan, seeing action in 41 games as the left tackle. He was the Huskies’ top lineman in 2021, earning a first-team All-Canadian selection.

The Riders open the 2024 campaign on Saturday, June 8 at 7:00 p.m. ET when they visit the Edmonton Elks.
