Long snapper Jorgen Hus, the longest-serving member of the 2025 Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders, has announced his retirement from professional football after a prosperous decade with the Green and White.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hus punctuated his playing career in storybook fashion by helping the Roughriders defeat the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 in the 112th\u00a0Grey Cup Game, played on Nov. 16, at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg. That was his 177th appearance in a Roughriders uniform, including regular-season (167), playoff (9)\u00a0and Grey Cup (1) competition. A member of first-place Roughriders teams in 2019 and 2025, Hus signs off with a consecutive-games-played streak of\u00a0150,\u00a0playoffs included.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All-around excellence was applauded during Grey Cup Week in 2024 when Hus received the\u00a0Jake\u00a0Gaudaur\u00a0Veterans\u2019 Award. The award\u00a0honours\u00a0a Canadian CFL player who best\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0the attributes of Canada\u2019s Veterans\u00a0\u2014\u00a0strength, perseverance, courage,\u00a0comradeship\u00a0and contribution to Canadian communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to being an exemplary teammate, Hus has tirelessly invested himself in the community as a Player Ambassador with the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation, visiting schools across the province to emphasize the importance of literacy (via the Rider Reading program) and mental health (Win\u00a0With\u00a0Wellness).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Born in Saskatoon, Hus played high school football with the St Joseph Guardians before contributing as a linebacker and on special teams with the Saskatoon Hilltops (Prairie Football Conference) and University of Regina Rams (Canada West). Selected by Edmonton in the fourth round (31st\u00a0overall) of the 2013 CFL Draft, he had NFL auditions with the St. Louis Rams (twice), Seattle\u00a0Seahawks\u00a0and Kansas City Chiefs before returning to Canada to play his\u00a0favourite\u00a0sport in his home province.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Roughriders\u00a0acquired\u00a0Hus\u2019s CFL rights in a May 11,\u00a02015\u00a0trade that sent receiver Cory Watson to Edmonton. Hus signed his\u00a0first of\u00a0six contracts with the Roughriders on May 20, 2015. He made his regular-season debut with Saskatchewan on June 27, 2015, in the regular-season opener against Winnipeg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Blue Bombers were also the opponent for the first regular-season game at\u00a0new\u00a0Mosaic Stadium. Hus\u00a0figured\u00a0in the first points scored at that stadium, snapping the ball to holder Josh Bartel to put Tyler\u00a0Crapigna\u00a0in position for a 48-yard field goal at 9:11 of the first quarter on July 1, 2017. Hus,\u00a0Bartel\u00a0and\u00a0Crapigna\u00a0also collaborated on a\u00a0convert that followed the first touchdown at the new facility (an 18-yard pass from Kevin Glenn to Caleb Holley) 13:39 into the game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jorgen and his wife, Kenzi, are the proud parents of two daughters \u2014 Makaia and\u00a0Livvy and\u00a0continue to call Saskatoon home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long snapper Jorgen Hus, the longest-serving member of the 2025 Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders, has announced his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-624810","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\/624810","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=624810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
