Roughriders lose another offensive lineman to injury
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are once again deploying the next-man-up mentality along the offensive line. Article content With left guard Trevon Tate expected to land on the injured list with a shoulder injury suffered in Saskatchewan's Week 4 victory over the B.C. Lions, Zack Fry is next in line to start for the Green and White after serving as the backup for the last three games. Article content Article content Article content 'Super unfortunate that Tate went down, but again, next man up and excited to play,' Fry said this week as the Roughriders returned to practice following the team's first bye week of the season. Article content 'You've just got to be mentally and physically prepared, as you do every other week.' Article content When the Roughriders (4-0) host the Calgary Stampeders (3-1) on Friday night (7 p.m., TSN) at Mosaic Stadium in Week 6 of the CFL season, Fry is expected to make his second start of the season after getting the nod at right guard in Week 1 against the Ottawa Redblacks. Article content 'Who doesn't want to play in front of all these great fans here in Regina?' said Fry. 'It's awesome to always run out of that tunnel and be in that starting lineup and getting those reps in and just being in this awesome atmosphere.' Article content Last season, the 24-year-old from London, Ont. started six games at left guard as he was one of more than a dozen offensive lineman used due to various injuries throughout the year. Article content And having an experienced player like Fry ready to go is a nice thing according to Roughriders head coach Corey Mace, who has already seen his club lose centre Sean McEwen, guard Philippe Gagnon and tackle Payton Collins due to injuries this season. Article content Article content 'It's similar to any other guy that's had to step up this year. Nobody's holding hands or anything like that.' Article content Now back in a starting role, Fry — a second-round pick by Saskatchewan in the 2022 CFL draft — said his preparation has actually become easier. While he was a backup for three of his four games this year, he served as the sixth man for six games in 2024 to go along with his six starts at left guard. In 2023, he suited up for four games as a backup in his rookie season. Article content For Fry, the experience of being thrown into the fire last year is something he's drawing on this week. Article content 'I started all the games I did last year at left guard, so I think that prepared me a lot for here,' said the 6-foot-5, 288-pounder out of Western University, where he played right tackle. 'I feel ready to go. Article content 'You hate to see (an injury) but again, it's an opportunity. It's a job and you've got to be ready to go whenever.'

Wisconsin football reportedly interested in D-II transfer wide receiver
Wisconsin football has expressed interest in Clarion transfer wide receiver Trevon Tate, according to Rivals' Jon McNamara. The Division II transfer has recently received significant Football Bowl Subdivision interest, according to his agent. Other programs in pursuit include Stanford, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Kent State and Arkansas State. Advertisement Tate recently entered the portal after four-plus seasons at Clarion. The 6-foot, 180-pound wideout dominated in 2024, totaling 1,137 yards and five touchdowns on 65 receptions. That output followed 14 catches and 188 yards in five appearances in 2023, 29 receptions, 293 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games in 2022, plus 12 catches, 167 yards and a score in nine games in 2021. The receiver's career tallies at the D-II level: 120 receptions, 1,785 yards and nine touchdowns. Wisconsin is still looking to add wide receiver depth after the spring transfer departures of Mark Hamper (who has since committed to Cal) and Quincy Burroughs. Tate, an honorable mention D-II All-American last season, could fill that role. The Badgers do not appear alone in pursuing the D-II standout. Pittsburgh and West Virginia are each within moderate proximity of Clarion, Pennsylvania, and could have an upper hand in Tate's recruitment. With no visits reported, the favorites for the receiver's commitment are unclear. Advertisement From a Wisconsin perspective, Tate can now be added to the team's list of recent transfer wide receiver interests. That list also includes UConn transfer Jasaiah Gathings and Hawaii transfer Dekel Crowdus. The position appears to be the last of the program's transfer pursuits, with movement from the spring window mostly concluded.
