The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American wide receiver Jerreth Sterns. Twenty-three-year-old Sterns, who is 5’9″ tall and 175 pounds, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft. Sterns spent time on the Los Angeles Rams practice squad during the 2023 season.
The Texas native played one collegiate season (2021) at Western Kentucky University, seeing action in 14 games. Sterns had a career season, finishing as the NCAA leader in receiving yards (1,902), catches (150), receiving yards per game (135.9) and tied for the lead with 17 receiving touchdowns. His receptions and receiving yards were the third and fifth highest marks in FBS history, respectively. Following the season, the former Hilltopper earned First-Team All-C-USA honours and was named a Second-Team All-American.
Saskatchewan Roughriders host the Edmonton Elks on Thursday, 7 p.m. at Mosaic Stadium.
