Riders sign offensive tackle Vaughn, defensive tackle Dabire to contract extensions

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are keeping a couple of key members in the trenches.

The team announced Tuesday it has signed offensive tackle Terran Vaughn and defensive tackle Charbel Dabire to contract extensions.

Vaughn, 27, was set to be the Riders’ starter at offensive tackle in 2021 but suffered a shoulder injury in training camp, ending his season before the first regular-season game.

Vaughn first signed with Saskatchewan in 2017 and made his debut a year later, playing seven games in 2018.

Vaughn made 15 starts at tackle in 2019, helping the Riders go 13-5 and host the CFL West Final.

Centre Dan Clark and Vaughn were the only two returning starters from 2019 to participate in the Riders’ training camp in 2021.

He played his college football at Stephen F. Austin State University, spending four seasons there.

Dabire was selected by the Riders in the fifth round (44th overall) in the 2019 CFL Draft.

The 24-year-old has appeared in 22 regular-season games and three playoff games over two seasons. Dabire has recorded 14 tackles and two sacks.

Dabire spent three seasons at Wagner College in New York and was a team captain in 2018.
