Saskatchewan Roughriders’ franchise quarterback Trevor Harris would not share if he’s thought about going out as a champion should the Green and White win the 112th Grey Cup.

“I know what you’re doing here,” Harris said to 3DownNation. “Yes, I’ve envisioned myself winning a Grey Cup; I’m not there yet to talk about what’s after. Let’s go get it done for these guys, one another, and we’ll talk about it after the game.”

His dad and mom, Tom and Suzanne Harris, were at the team’s walkthrough practice watching their son and teammates finish preparing for the Montreal Alouettes. Both parents were in attendance, sitting amongst the media, for his Saturday press conference inside Princess Auto Stadium.

The six-foot-three, 212-pound passer aims to win his first Grey Cup as a starter on Sunday in Winnipeg. He’s won two as a backup, one in 2012 with the Toronto Argonauts and another in 2016 with the Ottawa Redblacks. Head coach Corey Mace said he has not had conversations about Harris’ playing future with the 39-year-old QB.

“I know truthfully, that’s not really on his mind right now, nor is it on mine. Focusing on trying to win this game and then all those conversations, those come after, man. I think myself, Trev, and everybody else, we’re dialled for what’s going to happen [Sunday],” Mace said.

There’s an argument to be made that Harris played the best football in his 13-year CFL career during the 2025 regular season. He completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 4,549 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Harris missed one regular-season start due to a head injury and was rested in another after the team had already secured first place in the West Division, producing an 11-5 win-loss record.

All Harris cares about is going 1-0 on Sunday against the Als. The future can wait until after the CFL championship game is over. His teammates would like to see him hoist the Grey Cup and help bring a fifth title to Saskatchewan.

“It’d be great, come on, that’s the sheriff right there. He runs the county, come on now. He’s an unbelievable guy. The characteristics he holds as a person, the way he uplifts us, the way he carries himself, it’s unfathomable,” Ajou Ajou said.

“I look up to him. He threw me my first CFL touchdown; I’ll remember that for the rest of my life. It’s gonna mean everything, so I’m gonna go out there, we’re gonna go out there, and give it 100 percent, not only for him, but for this province as well.”

Whether Harris can potentially retire and walk off as a Grey Cup champion will be determined through 60 minutes on Sunday night in the Manitoba capital.
