Canadian offensive lineman Sage Doxtater works out with Toronto Argonauts
The hulking offensive lineman practised with the Toronto Argonauts on Monday after joining the club’s practice roster last weekend. The move comes almost four years after the franchise selected Doxtater in the second round, 12th overall, in the 2021 CFL draft.
And that’s after the Oneida Nation of the Thames native, who grew up in Glencoe, Ont., played minor football in London, Ont., as his high school didn’t have a program. He subsequently enrolled at Canada Prep Football Academy, a private school in St. Catharines, Ont., that plays a full American schedule.
Sadly, Doxtater never got to know his dad, who was fatally stabbed before Doxtater was born. However, Casey Doxtater remains with his son, who carries a tattoo on his left shoulder in his father’s memory.“It’s hard because growing up all of my family members who knew my dad all said how great of a man he was,” Doxtater said, the emotion clearly evident in his voice. “I feel he’s been with me through this whole journey, I can feel his presence.
But Doxtater has also had to shoulder the burden of additional family pain with the passing of two brothers – one in 2022, the second in December.Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie said Doxtater, 25, will have the benefit of time to get acclimated to his new surroundings. The Argos have depth on the offensive line as an injury to American Isiah Cage forced Canadian guard Ryan Hunter to move to left tackle and Canuck Dylan Giffen to replace Hunter in their 37-31 win over Montreal on Sept 28.
