Zack Fry (born September 3, 2000) is a Canadian professional football offensive lineman for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
University career
[edit]Fry played U Sports football for the Western Mustangs from 2018 to 2022 and appeared in 37 games.[1] He was named a U Sports Second Team All-Canadian in 2019 and 2021 and finished the 2021 season as a national champion after the Mustangs defeated the Saskatchewan Huskies in the 56th Vanier Cup game.[2]
Professional career
[edit]In the final Canadian Football League's Amateur Scouting Bureau rankings for players eligible for the 2022 CFL draft, Fry was listed as the 14th-best player available.[3] He was then selected in the second round, 16th overall, in the draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders and signed with the team on May 9, 2022.[4] Following training camp, he returned to the Mustangs for his fourth season of U Sports eligibility.[2] He re-signed with the Roughriders after the season ended on November 29, 2022.[5]
Following training camp in 2023, Fry began the season on the team's practice roster.[2] He soon after made his professional debut in week 5, on July 7, 2023, against the Edmonton Elks, as a backup offensive lineman.[2] He played in four regular season games while spending time on the injured list and practice roster that year.[2] In the 2024 season, he again began the year on the practice roster, but was called up to the active roster in week 3.[2] Fry made his first career start, at left guard, on August 8, 2024, against the Ottawa Redblacks.[2] He dressed in 12 regular season games, starting in six, and also started in both playoff games that year.[2][6]
In 2025, Fry made the team's opening day roster and started at right guard against the Redblacks.[2][7]
