Saskatchewan Roughriders News Release


The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American offensive tackle Jordan Tucker.

Tucker (6'6-340) returns to the Roughriders after recovering from an injury he sustained at 2023 Training Camp. Prior to joining the Riders, Tucker signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft and attended training camp with the team.

Tucker played four collegiate seasons (2018-21) at the University of North Carolina. The 23-year-old played in 45 games and made 35 starts, primarily at right tackle. In 2022, he was part of an offensive line that helped the Tar Heel offence average 212.5 rushing yards per game and 35.2 points per game, the second and third best mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference, respectively. The Georgia native made nine starts at right tackle in 2021 and helped the team average 537.3 total yards per game, which led the ACC and set a new school record. Following his senior season, Tucker participated in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.

In a corresponding move, the Club has released National kicker Campbell Fair.
