Prospect Spotlight: Who is Nelson Lokombo?

Ron Rivera has the super bowl on his mind, and he is ready to look anywhere that he can find players to help him. The latest target is ball-hawking free safety Nelson Lokombo, who was drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League second overall in the 2021 CFL draft, which was held on May 4th. His draft position indicates that he is a pretty good player.

Lokombo played three seasons at the University of Saskatchewan, where became only the second player in Huskies history to be named the top defensive player in Canadian university football in 2019 in just his third season.
