Three former Saskatchewan Roughriders will be inducted into the team\u2019s plaza of honour this fall.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Rob Bagg, offensive lineman Dan Clark and kicker Paul McCallum are set to join the 143 other members of the plaza in a halftime ceremony during the team\u2019s home game against the Montreal Alouettes on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n

Bagg signed with Saskatchewan as an undrafted free agent in 2007, but chose to return to college for an additional year before his first CFL season in 2009. He amassed 27 career touchdowns and four seasons with more than 50 receptions, and won the Grey Cup with the Riders in 2013.<\/p>\n
He was selected as the Riders\u2019 most-outstanding Canadian in 2009 and 2015, and sits sixth in the team\u2019s history for catches (364) and 10th in receiving yards (4,706).<\/p>\n
Clark, who was also a member of the championship Roughriders squad in 2013, became the team\u2019s starting centre in 2015 and continued in that role through the 2022 season. Born in Regina, Clark was named the All-CFL centre in 2019 after the team posted a 13-5 record for the top spot in the league\u2019s West Division.<\/p>\n
He was chosen as the team\u2019s most-outstanding offensive lineman in both 2019 and 2021, and won the league\u2019s Jake Gaudaur Veterans\u2019 Award in 2022.<\/p>\n
McCallum, who was inducted into the CFL\u2019s hall of fame in 2022, played for 24 seasons in the league, suiting up for the Riders in 13 of them. In 2001, McCallum kicked a 63-yard field goal for the Green and White, setting a new record for the Roughriders. During his time with the team, he kicked 29 field goals longer than 50 yards, and holds franchise records for punts (1,116) and punting yardage (45,670), while he\u2019s in second place in the team\u2019s record book for points (1,615) and field goals (368).<\/p>\n
This will be the second consecutive year that all inductees into the plaza of honour are Canadians, the team noted, and the first time since 2004 that all of the inductees have been Canadian players.<\/p>\n
Inductees are selected by a committee including former players, journalists, board members and the team\u2019s historian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three former Saskatchewan Roughriders will be inducted into the team\u2019s plaza of honour this fall.
