<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s an honour. As you know me, I\u2019m not too concerned about (the awards). I just want to make sure I am doing the best I can to lead this team and be the best quarterback I can for this organization and province,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt\u2019s something I don\u2019t take lightly so I am very grateful and thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris is the first Roughrider to win back-to-back MOP nominations since Cody Fajardo in 2019 and 2021. Harris is the 12th Roughrider to win the award in at least two straight years. Kent Austin (1990-92) and fullback George Reed (1967-69) are the only players in team history to win three consecutive MOP awards.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Green Zone (@GreenZoneSK) October 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Most Outstanding Defensive Player: Jameer Thurman<\/p>\n Thurman has been named the Roughriders\u2019 Most Outstanding Defensive Player for the second straight year<\/a>. He ranks fifth in the CFL with 99 defensive tackles through 17 games. That is already a new career high for the linebacker. Thurman has also recorded three sacks, five tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and two pass knockdowns.<\/p>\n \u201cThis season, I think I sacrificed my turnovers for tackles this year because I am on pace to have a career-high in that,\u201d Thurman said. \u201cI could have been a lot better but I am thankful for where I am and there\u2019s still a lot of work to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n The last Riders defender to earn the nomination in back-to-back seasons was Tyron Brackenridge in 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n Most Outstanding Canadian: Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/p>\n Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a> only needed 11 games to cross the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, leading to him being named the team\u2019s Most Outstanding Canadian.<\/p>\n He has caught 67 passes for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time I step onto the field, I leave everything out there. Could there have been more out there? I don\u2019t think so. I think I did everything I possibly could have done with the opportunity I was given,\u201d Schaffer-Baker said. \u201cInjuries come into place or whatever setback there is, I kept grinding and kept working and never quit.\u201d<\/p>\n Schaffer-Baker has recorded four 100-yard games this season, including a career-high 185 receiving yards against Edmonton on July 23. He was also the nominee for this award in 2022.<\/p>\n Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman: Logan Ferland<\/p>\n Logan Ferland<\/a> has been named the Roughriders\u2019 Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman for the fourth time in five seasons. The Melfort, Sask., product has helped lock down a Riders offensive line that has allowed the second-fewest sacks in the CFL this season (24).<\/p>\n \u201cI think there\u2019s a lot of guys deserving of this award and it really is a team award along the offensive line. No guy can win this without the help of the other guy beside him so it really goes out to those guys and just very grateful,\u201d Ferland said.<\/p>\n Ferland recently played his 100th game with Saskatchewan after becoming a starter on the offensive line in 2021.<\/p>\n Most Outstanding Rookie: Daniel Wiebe<\/p>\n
