REGINA, Sask. — Former Montana linebacker Braxton Hill was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League on Monday.

Hill, a former standout at Anaconda High School, was a team captain at Montana and was named a second-team All-American by Stats Perform following the 2023 season. He was a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is given to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision.

In 2023, Hill led the Big Sky Conference with 128 total tackles and was a first-team All-Big Sky performer. He helped the Griz reach the FCS national championship game.

The Roughriders are currently 5-7-1 and in third place in the CFL West division standings. Their next game is Friday on the road against the Calgary Stampeders.
