Former Blue Hose Receiver Takes Changes in Stride There were quite a few differences for Tobi Antigha ’15 when he lined up in his first game as a professional football player two years ago.

For starters, Antigha was in Canada, having been drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in 2017.

The CFL has different rules than what Antigha was used to while playing football growing up and later for the Blue Hose.

There’s a 55-yard line in Canadian football, 12 players are on the field instead of 11, and the defensive team must stay one full yard away from the offense when lining up.

As far as playing the game goes, the biggest difference for Antigha is that he plays defense now. As a wide receiver for the Blue Hose, Antigha led the team in receiving in eight of 11 games during his senior year in 2015.

He’s played defensive end since joining the CFL in 2017.
