The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ rookie-camp roster includes a veteran of 189 CFL regular-season games — a strong candidate for eventual induction in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
So please note that the “rookie” label won’t be universally applicable over the next three days.
Exceptions are made for quarterbacks such as Trevor Harris, who guided the Green and White to a Grey Cup championship in 2025.
Harris and two other incumbent signal callers — Jack Coan and Tommy Stevens — will be on the field from Wednesday to Friday at Griffiths Stadium, limbering up their arms and refining their timing in advance of main camp.
All the veterans will be part of the equation starting on Sunday, when Coors Light Training Camp ramps up at the University of Saskatchewan.
Top performers from the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday sessions will also suit up on Sunday and beyond.
Here is a look at all the newcomers — and a smattering of returnees — as the 2026 Roughriders take their first steps on the field:
