The Saskatchewan Roughriders liked enough of what they saw from defensive back Lemondre Joe in his first outing with the team that they’ve brought him back for another look.
The Riders announced Wednesday that the 23-year-old American has signed with the CFL club, marking the former Colorado State stand out's second stint with the team. Joe originally joined the Green and White in early October and spent a couple weeks on the practice roster.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Deltona, Florida product attracted NFL interest coming out of the NCAA this past spring, as he attended rookie mini-camp with the Philadelphia Eagles.
With Colorado State in 2025, Joe started all 12 games for the Rams. He recorded 56 tackles, five tackles for a loss, a team-high four sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 13 pass deflections.
Joe spent his first four collegiate seasons from 2021 to 2024 at Missouri State, suiting up for 35 games and starting in 24. He registered 90 tackles, three tackles for a loss, seven interceptions and 23 pass deflections with the Bears.
