The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American running back Stevie Rocker Jr.

The six-foot, 210-pound ball-carrier played 29 games during the 2024 and 2025 seasons at the University of Montana, rushing 73 times for 335 yards and four touchdowns. He also caught 34 passes for 361 yards and three scores, returned five kicks for 84 yards, and made 11 tackles.

The native of Tucson, Ariz. started his collegiate career at the University of Arizona, recording 31 carries for 153 yards and seven receptions for 59 yards over three seasons.

The Blue Bombers have also signed Canadian receiver Thomas Desrosiers and Canadian kicker Brady Lidster.

Desrosiers went unselected in the recent 2026 CFL Draft. The six-foot-one, 195-pound target caught 13 passes for 123 yards and one touchdowns and returned 83 kicks for 1,705 yards and one score over four collegiate seasons at Sherbrooke University. He was named an RSEQ all-star in 2025 and ran a 4.56-second forty-yard dash at the CFL Invitational Combine in March.

Lidster was the team’s eighth-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft out of the University of Windsor. The native of St. Thomas, Ont. made 81-of-107 field goal attempts (75.7 percent), averaged 38.6 yards on 90 punts, and 58.5 yards on 72 kickoffs with the Lancers.
