“He posted career-highs in 2025 in defensive tackles (57), special teams tackles (11), interceptions (two) and team-leading eight pass knockdowns over 18 regular season games. He also ranked third on the team in defensive plays,” the Saskatchewan Roughriders said in a statement.
“He started both the Western Final and the 112th Grey Cup, earning five defensive tackles and one special teams tackle.”
Before joining the Riders and the CFL, Fields signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent, playing two games for the Saints in 2022. He moved to the Washington Commanders’ practice roster in October of 2022 and stayed with the team until August of 2023.
During his collegiate career, Fields played 54 games over six seasons with Texas Tech, accumulating 224 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, four interceptions, four forced fumbles, four recovered fumbles and 45 passes defended.
“His strong senior season where he registered 50 tackles, four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, and team-high 11 passes defended earned him an invitation to the prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl,” the Riders noted.
