Cory Watson<\/a> for Hus\u2019 rights in May of 2015.<\/p>\n\u201cA very astute general manager named Brendan Taman traded for Jorgen. If I recall correctly at the time, there was some questions from our fan base and maybe from (media) of why we were trading a starting Canadian receiver for a long snapper,\u201d O\u2019Day said.<\/p>\n
He played his first game with Saskatchewan on June 27 of that year.<\/p>\n
Jorgen\u2019s career would see him become the longest-serving member of the 2025 Riders\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n
\u201cA word I would (use to describe Hus) is underappreciated,\u201d O\u2019Day said. \u201cI think I have a little bit in common with him where the position I played if you did your job, no one would pay attention to it. If you didn\u2019t, everyone knew about it. Fortunately for Jorgen, he did his job very well and I don\u2019t think there was a time anyone talked about him. I think that speaks to the consistency and accuracy in which he snapped.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to his work on the field, the team said Hus has also been an active ambassador for the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation, regularly visiting schools around the province to discuss topics like literacy and mental health with students.<\/p>\n
\u201cCindy (Fuchs) and I had a trip up to Nunavut in 2015 and we went to a youth detention centre and we had some really powerful moments there,\u201d Hus said. \u201cYou skip forward a few years and you go and are doing some mental health stuff and I\u2019ve had this girl reach out over social media asking if I was still doing these presentations. I talked to her at a school about not giving up and she was going through some stuff. She told me she made the provincial team. That was incredible. That brought a tear to my eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are stories like that from almost every winter and offseason. It\u2019s pretty cool the impact we can have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hus was the winner of the Jake Gaudaur Veterans\u2019 Award<\/a> in 2024, which recognizes the Canadian CFL player who best demonstrates the attributes of Canada\u2019s veterans, including strength, courage, perseverance, camaraderie and contributions to their communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jorgen Hus first started long snapping at St. Joseph\u2019s High School when he was in Grade 10.
