The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American defensive back C.J. Reavis.
Reavis (6’0-198) returns to the Roughriders after attending training camp with the Club earlier this year. Prior to his time with the Roughriders, Reavis was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent. He made his NFL debut with the Jags in December of 2018, recording one tackle. After the 2018 season, Reavis went on to spend time with the Atlanta Falcons.
Reavis was highly recruited out of high school, receiving offers from Tennessee, North Carolina and Ohio State amongst others, before settling on Virginia Tech. From there, he transferred to East Mississippi, appearing on the popular show Last Chance U, and recording 40 tackles, eight pass break ups and two interceptions.
After one season at East Mississippi, he transferred to Marshall. The Virginia native flourished in his time with The Herd, recording 132 tackles, one interception and five tackles for loss in 21 games.
Additionally, the Club has moved American linebacker Gary Johnson Jr. to the suspended list.
