The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American offensive lineman\u202fJacob Brammer\u202fto a one-year contract extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brammer\u202f(6\u20194-301)\u202freturns to the Riders after an impressive 2025 season at right guard, culminating in his first All-CFL\u00a0honours. Brammer helped solidify the right side of the offensive line, suiting up for 17 regular-season games while helping the Roughriders finish tied for the second-fewest sacks allowed (26) and boast the CFL\u2019s second-leading rusher (A.J. Ouellette, with 1,222 yards).\u00a0Brammer and his linemates received top marks from PFF in Weeks 1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 14, and 15 and were named the top offensive line in the months of June and September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He started both the Western Final and the Grey Cup, where the line\u2019s exemplary play allowed no sacks, helped Ouellette rush for\u00a0113 yards\u00a0against the Lions, and protected Harris so he could throw for\u00a0302 yards\u00a0in the Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Texas native made his CFL debut on July 19, 2024, and was named to Pro Football Focus\u2019 CFL\u00a0Honour\u00a0Roll for that week based on his performance. He went on to play four more games that season and\u00a0suited up\u00a0for both the Western Semi-Final and Western Final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Collegiately, Brammer played one season (2022) at Vanderbilt University.\u00a0He started 11 games and recorded 718 snaps, all at right tackle. He was part of a Commodores offensive line that allowed only 15 sacks in 12 games, the fourth-best mark in the Southeastern Conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prior to his time at Vanderbilt, Brammer spent four collegiate seasons (2018\u201321) at the University of North Texas. He\u00a0played in\u00a038 games (35 starts), primarily at right tackle. In 2021, Brammer was part of an offensive line that helped\u00a0the Mean\u00a0Green average 235.4 rushing yards per game, the fifth-most in the country. He earned an All-Conference USA second-team\u00a0honour\u00a0in 2020 and an All-Conference USA honorable mention in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American offensive lineman\u202fJacob Brammer\u202fto a one-year contract extension.\u00a0 Brammer\u202f(6\u20194-301)\u202freturns to the Riders after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-436740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
