Roughriders add depth with quarterback Flacco

REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American quarterback Tom Flacco.

Flacco joins the Roughriders after two strong seasons at Towson University in Maryland.

In his senior year, Flacco was named to the All-CAA second team, finishing the regular season with 2,831 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions while adding 324 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.

As a junior, he finished fifth in voting for the 2018 Walter Payton Award given to the top offensive player in NCAA Division I football.

That year he matched the Towson single-season record with 28 passing touchdowns and threw for 3,251 yards while also adding 742 yards on the ground.

Flacco is the younger brother of NFL quarterback Joe Flacco.

Saskatchewan also signed American offensive lineman Andrew Lauderdale.

— The Calgary Stampeders have resigned receiver Richie Sindani.

The Regina native had 32 catches and 362 receiving yards over 15 games last season. He also had a catch for a two-point convert and a career-long 51yard reception against Edmonton in the Labour Day Classic.
