TORONTO — Regina Rams quarterback and CFL draft prospect Noah Picton is on the market after going undrafted on Thursday night.

Picton’s name wasn’t called throughout the draft’s 69 picks, meaning the former Hec Crighton winner is free to sign with any Canadian Football League team.

The 5-foot-9 quarterback performed in front of scouts and general managers in March at the CFL Scouting Combine presented by adidas with hopes of getting a chance to go pro.

The Canadian quarterback, born in Regina, has enjoyed a stellar U SPORTS career. In 2017 he played and started eight regular season games, completing 207 of 301 passing attempts (the highest percentage in Canada West and the second-highest in the country) for 2,491 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He was named a Canada West All-Star and a U SPORTS First-Team All-Canadian.

Of the three eligible, not a single quarterback was selected in Thursday’s draft.

Picton does have one year left of eligibility at the University of Regina.
