CFL team tryouts at USJ

JACKSON, Tenn. —  Tryouts for the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders were held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at University School of Jackson.

The tryouts were open to anyone who has already fulfilled their collegiate athletic careers.

The man to impress was Chis Jones, general manager and head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

USJ’s strength and conditioning coach Nick Stamper said this is a “great way to showcase local talent and, if selected, an opportunity to play professionally.”
