Fresh off participating at the 2025 East-West Bowl in Waterloo, Riley Schick and Ethan Graham are set to lead an experienced 2025 Regina Rams offensive line group.
Schick is expected to once again start at center, and Graham will slot back into his usual left tackle position. Other key returners include Nick Makowsky, who started a number of games at left guard, Nnadozie Marendiukobianwa, who filled in for an injured Graham in the Hardy Cup and started the Mitchell Bowl, and Will Templeton, who is healthy after missing the 2024 season due to injury.
"Coach Jones, Coach Serke, and I are very excited about our unit heading into the 2025 season," said offensive line coach Roe Borgmann. "A common theme of our group is playing fast and physical football, and we know we have the men to accomplish that."
Borgmann recognizes that there are some holes to fill, as long-time starter Parker Hodel graduated from the program, and tackle 2025 CFL Draft pick Connor Klassen was injured during BC Lions training camp, but he is confident that the development of the group over the off season.
"The players have worked diligently throughout the offseason to get into the best shape possible heading into this year," said Borgmann.
Returners include Lethbridge Collegiate's Jake Gedrasik and Logan Hubick, who dressed for multiple games last season, as well as a crop of 2nd-year players that includes Emmett Reinhardt, Wylie Brogden, Nate Boyd, and Austin Wiebe.
The newcomers are plentiful, and once again include many players from the CFJL ranks. Max McFadden, Jake Borne, and Mekhi Molleken all join the Rams from the Regina Thunder, and Michael Astone joins the Rams via the Okanagan Sun, where he was named a 2nd-team All-Canadian last season.
Joining the junior recruits are a talented crop of high school players. Tyler Mooney, Noah Douhaniuk, and Davin Berry were all teammates at Riffel, and look to bring some of that chemistry to the Rams. Finally, Jake Ramm joins the program from Greenall High School, where he was teammates with Boyd and Brogdon.
