SASKATOON \u2014 For Trevor Harris, the first calls on Sunday didn\u2019t have anything to do with formations, strategy and the like.<\/p>\n
He phoned his wife (Kalie) and his mom (Suzanne) on Mother\u2019s Day \u2014 which coincided with Day 1 of the Saskatchewan Roughriders\u2019 main training camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cI showed my mom the field,\u201d Harris said at Griffiths Stadium. \u201cShe has seen Mosaic Stadium and Winnipeg\u2019s stadium and Ottawa\u2019s stadium. She said, \u2018Wow \u2026 it\u2019s so cool.\u2019 She never loses that lustre and excitement for life.<\/p>\n
\u201cA shout-out to all the mothers out there \u2014 my wife, my wife\u2019s mom (Marie Denton), my sisters and all the people who are close.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife always says that she makes a house a home, and she absolutely does. We\u2019re really grateful for all the mothers out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris, like his dad, is a father of four. Tom and Suzanne Harris of Waldo, Ohio are the proud parents of Trevor, Cody, Chantress and Autumn. Trevor and Kalie Harris have three sons (T.J., Trace and Tripp) and a daughter (Livian).<\/p>\n
Head Coach Corey Mace and his wife, Petra, have a daughter (Maleena) and a son (Micah).<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy Mother\u2019s Day to all the moms out there,\u201d Corey Mace said to begin his media session on Sunday at Coors Light Training Camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love you. We appreciate you.\u201d<\/p>\n
WOODS WORK<\/p>\n
Josh Woods, a first-year Roughrider, has already performed well at Mosaic Stadium.<\/p>\n
He was the B.C. Lions\u2019 starting strong-side linebacker against Saskatchewan in the 2025 Western Final \u2014 a game the home side won 24-21 in down-to-the-wire fashion.<\/p>\n
Woods had six defensive tackles and one pass knockdown in that Nov. 8 nailbiter at Mosaic Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a tough game, but I\u2019m so blessed and excited to be here and to work with this group and be on this side of it,\u201d said Woods, who signed with Saskatchewan as a free agent in February.<\/p>\n
\u201cSask was the best team in the league last year and we knew that. It was a dogfight every time we saw each other, so you knew you had to bring it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-2, 234-pounder had 62 defensive tackles and one sack in 14 regular-season games with B.C. last season. Dating back to 2021, he played in 55 games with the Lions.<\/p>\n
He already feels comfortable in his second CFL home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you get to know people, you want to play better for them,\u201d Woods said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been a stat guy. The only stats I care about are wins and losses. I\u2019ll do whatever I can to help us win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to get a Grey Cup. That\u2019s what I\u2019m chasing.\u201d<\/p>\n
WIEBE WOWS \u2019EM<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s most picturesque play was a 40-yard touchdown pass from Harris to University of Saskatchewan Huskies grad Daniel Wiebe, who scored on a deep corner route.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was awesome last year,\u201d Harris said of the Roughriders\u2019 eighth-round pick in the 2025 CFL Canadian Draft. \u201cThen he went back to (U Sports) and won every award you could possibly win.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a stud. I really love him. If you tell him to do something, it\u2019s, \u201910-4,\u2019 and he does it. He\u2019ll ask the right questions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s got a bright future. I couldn\u2019t be more excited for a guy like that. He\u2019s not here because he\u2019s from Saskatchewan. He\u2019s a beast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wiebe was named the top player in Canada West last year after catching 78 passes for 1,257 yards and 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
SUNDAY\u2019S STANDOUTS<\/p>\n
\u2022 Wiebe caught the first two passes thrown by Harris in 12-on-12 drills.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Marcus Sayles had an interception in a skeleton drill and nearly added a pick-six in 12-on-12. Jaxon Ford also\u00a0 made an interception in the skeleton drill.<\/p>\n
\u2022 D\u2019Sean Mimbs was Sunday\u2019s busiest receiver. He caught three passes in 12-on-12. Wiebe, Kian Schaffer-Baker, Dhel Duncan-Busby and running back Mario Anderson Jr. each had two catches.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Anderson Jr. and A.J. Ouellette carried the ball five times. Darrell Henderson Jr. was handed the football twice. Saskatoon Hilltops star Corbin Ebbin had Sunday\u2019s other carry.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Safety Nelson Lokombo had a pass deflection in 12-on-12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SASKATOON \u2014 For Trevor Harris, the first calls on Sunday didn\u2019t have anything to do with formations, strategy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-662045","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\/662045","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=662045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
