The Saskatchewan Roughriders are gearing up for training camp next month, and today they added a player on each side of the ball.
The Riders have signed defensive back Levonta Taylor, and running back Frankie Hickson.
Taylor was signed by the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2020. This was after four strong years at Florida State between 2016, and 2019.
Hickson spent five collegiate seasons at Liberty University (2015-19), playing in 47 games for the Flames. Over that time, the Virginia native earned 610 carries for 2,898 yards and 30 touchdowns. Hickson became the first Liberty running back to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons in more than a decade. He was also an outstanding kick returner.
The Riders will open training camp in Saskatoon May 15th, with the rookies reporting May 11th.
