REGINA — American offensive lineman Trevon Tate has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the CFL club announced Monday.

The six-foot-four, 295-pound Tate joins the Roughriders after playing four games at right tackle for the Calgary Stampeders this year.

Tate spent two seasons (2022-23) with the Toronto Argonauts, suiting up for 18 games including eight starts at right tackle and two at left tackle in 2023 as part of an offensive line that allowed a league-low 19 sacks.

He won a Grey Cup with Toronto in 2022.

Tate started his career with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, playing in eight games over the 2019 and 2021 seasons and appeared in one game for Ottawa in 2021.
