The Saskatchewan Roughriders are pleased to announce the completion of their 2022 coaching staff with the hiring of Marcus Klund to coach the defensive backs.

He spent the last nine years at Southwest Baptist University where he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator and worked with the defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs. Among his many accomplishments over that time, he coached 47 defensive All-Conference selections and four All-Americans and in 2019 and 2021 he had the number one pass defense in Great Lakes Valley Conference. Prior to SBU, he coached at Lindenwood University-Belleville (2011-13), his alma matter, Lindenwood University (2009-11), and Parkway West High School (2007-08).
