Despite an injury early in the season leaving him sidelined for six games, Harris had a banner year in green and white in 2024, setting a franchise record for passing accuracy (completing 72.4 per cent while throwing for 3,264 yards and 20 touchdowns). He was also named the West Division’s All-CFL quarterback.
“Entering the 2025 season, Harris has CFL career passing totals of 33,148 yards (16th on the All-Time list), 2,749 completions (13th), 3,886 attempts (18th) and 180 touchdowns (20th),” the team said in a statement. “His career completion percentage (70.74) is second-best in league history.”
Before joining the Riders in 2023, the Ohio quarterback spent time with the Edmonton Elks, Ottawa Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts.
Harris is expected to speak to fans and the media at a news conference on Friday morning.
