Riders Add Some Canadian Depth At O-Line

The Saskatchewan Roughrider announced today they have signed four non-import offensive linemen to the roster. The team has added to their Saskatchewan depth with the addition of Regina natives Dan Clark and Patrick Neufeld. In addition the team continues to bolster Canadian talent with the signings of McMaster product Justin Glover and Laval product Michel Boudreault. Financial details of the signings were not released.



Clark (6’2 – 300 lbs) spent the 2010 season on the Rider practice roster while playing for the Regina Thunder. The 22 year-old was named a 2010 CJFL all-star and a CJFL All-Canadian in his final year of junior eligibility. Clark originally signed with the Riders in June 2009 and spent the season on the team’s practice roster.



Neufeld (6’4 – 290 lbs) was drafted by the Riders in the 5th round (33rd overall) of the 2010 CFL Canadian Draft. After attending training camp with the Green and White, Neufeld went back to the University of Saskatchewan for the 2010 season. In his senior year, the offensive tackle was named a CIS First Team All-Canadian as well as earned a spot on the Canada West All-Star squad.



Glover (6’2 – 315 lbs) played the last five seasons at McMaster and was named a CIS First-Team All-Star last year and has been an OUA All-Star the past two seasons. The offensive lineman has experience at playing all positions on the line and most recently anchored the team at centre.



Boudreault (6’3 – 290 lbs) played the last four seasons at Laval. The 26 year-old helped the Rouge claim their second Vanier Cup in three seasons as they won the 2010 championship title at home this season. The offensive tackle was a member of the East West Bowl squad in the 2009 season.
