‘Happy to be home’ Riders ink local o-lineman Jeremy Zver
It was a risk that paid off for Regina’s own Jeremy Zver, in more ways than one.
The offensive lineman was drafted 16th overall by the B.C. Lions in the 2017 CFL Draft in May, but on Tuesday he was announced as the newest Saskatchewan Roughrider.
Zver went to training camp in B.C., and was offered a spot on the team’s practice roster. Zver decided to decline the offer.
“I talked to my agent and he said the best opportunity would probably be to decline the practice roster spot and then see what other options were out there,” Zver said of his decision.
