T. J. Stancil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas J. Stancil (born June 11, 1982 in Bensalem, Pennsylvania) is a strong-side linebacker playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

Stancil was signed as a free agent by Saskatchewan in 2005 as a backup to Jackie Mitchell, the incumbent starter at the time. However, injuries to Mitchell allowed Stancil to showcase his skills as the starter midway through 2005, and the Roughriders awarded him the starting position in 2006 while moving Mitchell to the free safety position. He played for Boston College during his collegiate years.
