The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American linebacker David Gbenda.
Gbenda (6’0-235) signed with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2025, attending training camp with the team.
Collegiately, Gbenda spent six seasons (2019-24) with the Texas Longhorns, registering 166 total tackles (including 10.5 for a loss), 3.5 sacks, two interceptions, four pass deflections and a forced fumble in 62 games. As a senior in 2024, he had 61 total tackles (five for a loss), one sack, one interception, one pass deflection and a forced fumble in 16 games.
In a Week 5 game against Mississippi State in 2024, the Texas-born Gbenda registered a team-high eight tackles and added a sack in a 35-13 Longhorns win. He earned the Longhorns’ lone interception in the 2025 Cotton Bowl against Ohio State.
