The Saskatchewan Roughriders have brought back Canadian receiver and 2025 CFL Draft pick Daniel Wiebe.
Wiebe was selected with the 69th overall pick in the eighth round and attended training camp in 2025, before returning to the University of Saskatchewan for his final season of eligibility.
The five-foot-nine, 190-pound target capitalized on that opportunity, producing a career year to be named the Canada West Football Player of the Year and a finalist for the Hec Crighton Trophy. Wiebe was also recognized as a first-team All-Canadian for the second year in a row, as he helped the Huskies to a 7-1 record, a Hardy Cup victory, and a berth in the Vanier Cup. In 12 games, regular season and playoffs, he caught 78 passes for 1,257 yards and 13 touchdowns, despite battling turf toe over the stretch run.
Across his five seasons with the Huskies, Wiebe totalled 217 receptions for 3,065 yards and 27 touchdowns, maintaining a career average of 14.1 yards per catch.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders finished first in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 12-6 record, finishing first in the West Division for the first time since 2019. The team went on to defeat the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg, marking the team’s first championship in 12 years. Trevor Harris went 11-5 as a starter, throwing for 4,549 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
The Roughriders ranked second in net offence, second in net defence, and tied for third with a turnover differential of plus-eight. The club’s leading rusher was A.J. Ouellette with 1,222 yards, leading receiver was KeeSean Johnson with 1,159 yards, and leading tackler was A.J. Allen with 91 tackles. Saskatchewan finished second in attendance with average crowds of 28,427, which was a 2.7 percent increase from the previous year.
