The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be losing a key piece on the field, and an energetic part of the locker room with second-year wide receiver Ajou Ajou set to join the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.
Ajou had taken a few NFL workouts this off-season, including one in Denver alongside Roughriders offensive lineman Logan Ferland and AJ Allen, as the Roughriders gave him his release earlier this month. He was signed to a to a reserve/future contract on Friday.

As a rookie receiver, Ajou played in 12 games last season and caught 20 balls for 307 yards and two touchdowns. A late season injury kept him out of the Roughriders lineup through the end of the regular season and two playoff games.
The Brooks, Alberta native was taken by the Roughriders in the seventh round of the 2024 CFL Draft. He played his college football at the University of South Florida, transferring over from Clemson University where he was originally recruited by national championship winning coach Dabo Swinney.
Ajou’s CFL rights will remain with the Riders through 2026. He will be lacing up the skates for the Roughriders Winter Classic on Feb. 1 at Merlis Belsher Place.
