The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American defensive back C.J. Coldon.

The five-foot-ten, 186-pound cover man signed with the Minnesota Vikings after going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft but was released at the end of training camp. He was added to the practice roster shortly thereafter but was released again on Nov. 1.

The native of Belleville, Ill. was named an All-Big 12 honourable mention in 2022 after transferring to the University of Oklahoma. He made 42 defensive tackles, two tackles for loss, four interceptions, and six pass knockdowns over 12 games with the Sooners.

Coldon originally started his collegiate career at the University of Wyoming where he recorded 115 defensive tackles, seven tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions, 16 pass knockdowns, and two fumble recoveries over 24 games. He was named second-team All-Mountain West in 2021.
