The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American running back Khalan Laborn.
Laborn comes to Saskatchewan after Canadian Football League stops in Edmonton, Toronto and Ottawa.
The Virginia native started in the CFL on the Edmonton Elks practice roster in 2023. In 2024, the 25-year-old attended training camp with the Argonauts then landed with the Redblacks in August.
Laborn played six games with Ottawa, rushing 58 times for 310 yards and one touchdown while adding 23 receptions for 152 yards.
The five-foot-eleven, 212-pound back signed with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft after attending Marshall University.
At Marshall University, Laborn suited up for 13 games in the 2022 season, rushing for 1,513 yards and 16 touchdowns on 302 carries. Laborn was also a first-team All-Sun Belt selection. Prior to joining Marshall, he played two seasons at Florida State (2018-2019) registering 63 carries for 297 yards and four touchdowns over 12 games.
Laborn joins former teammate Ryquell Armstead in the Roughriders running back room.
