The final weekend of training camp is set for Nov. 22-24 back in Saskatoon.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Monday they have signed two of their 2021 CFL draft picks.
Defensive lineman Alain Cimankinda was selected in the fourth round (35th overall). The 6-foot-1, 245-pounder out of Ottawa played three seasons with the University of Guelph Gryphons, recording 81 tackles, 27 tackles for losses, 22.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 30 games.
He was named a second-team OUA all-star in 2019 after registering 36 tackles, 13 tackles for losses, 11 sacks and one forced fumble.
Offensive lineman Logan Bandy was Saskatchewan’s fifth-round selection (38th overall). The 6-foot-5, 285-pounder played in 23 games over four seasons with the University of Calgary Dinos and was named a Canada West all-star at left tackle in both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Bandy, who hails from Calgary, was named a U Sports second-team All-Canadian in 2019 and was invited to the East-West Shrine Bowl. The annual U.S. college football all-star game was cancelled due to COVID-19.
