SASKATCHEWAN (CBC) - The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced on Friday, May 15 that defensive end Kitwana Jones had been traded to the Edmonton Eskimos and acquired quarterback Juan Joseph in the transaction. 

Roughriders head coach Ken Miller noted that Joseph, who had just signed with the Eskimos in March, was a star player during his college days. Joseph, 21, threw 32 touchdown passes in his last season as QB at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss.

Joseph becomes the fourth quarterback on Saskatchewan's roster, joining returnees Darian Durant, Steven Jyles and Dalton Bell.

"He'll come in and compete and we'll just have to see how well he does," Miller said. "Certainly he could figure into our depth as we go into the season."

Millsaps finished the 2008 season with its best record in school history at 11-1 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs.

Joseph is originally from Edgard, La., and stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 188 lbs.
