TORONTO – Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and Canadian offensive lineman Landon Rice are among seven players who’ll participate in the league’s mentorship program this year.

Masoli, an American who spent last season with the B.C. Lions, and Rice, who played in 2025 with the Montreal Alouettes, are both currently CFL free agents. Joining them in the program will be Calgary offensive lineman Bryce Bell, Toronto linebacker Jack Cassar, Hamilton safety Stavros Katsantonis, Winnipeg linebacker Redha Kramdi and Stampeders defensive lineman Folarin Orimolade.

The program is a joint venture between the league and CFL Players’ Association. It provides participants with a behind-the-scenes look at the business of the game and potential opportunities after football.

The participants will attend information sessions and do job shadowing at the CFL’s head office in such departments as football operations, social media and content, marketing and communications and partnerships. They’ll also visit TSN — the league’s broadcast partner — and assist at the league’s invitational combine in Waterloo, Ont., on March 6.

Upon completing the program, each player will be paired with a mentor for ongoing advice and guidance on furthering their careers away from the field.
