REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have released receiver Ajou Ajou in response to what the team said in a Thursday news release was a CFL investigation that found he’d violated the league’s gender-based violence and harassment policy.
Ajou played college football in the United States for Clemson, South Florida and Garden City, before being drafted by the Riders in 2024.
He dressed for 12 games with the Riders in 2024 and eight more in 2025, hauling in 42 receptions for a combined 519 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons.
“The Saskatchewan Roughriders do not tolerate gender-based violence or harassment and Ajou Ajou’s actions go directly against the values we hold as an organization,” Riders general manager Jeremy O’Day said in a team-issued news release. “We hold our players to a high standard, one that focuses on integrity and treating people with respect. He failed to meet that standard and is no longer a Roughrider.”
Saskatchewan Provincial Court confirmed Ajou was not facing criminal charges in this province.
O’Day is meeting with media at 11:15 a.m. to discuss the situation further.
