Dave Albright Obituary

David Albright was an American gridiron football linebacker who played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.

Albright played high school football for Marina High School and college football at Chabot College. He later transferred to San Jose State University and played for the Spartans. From 1986 to 1991, Albright recorded 377 tackles and 12 sacks with the Roughriders over 76 games.

When the USFL folded the following year, the Saskatchewan Roughrider signed Albright. He played in eight regular season games as a rookie in the CFL, but he made no tackles.

In the 1990 season, Albright again missed substantial time due to injury after requiring foot surgery. He ended the season with 44 tackles after playing in eleven regular season games in 1991 before retiring.

He died from a heart attack on January 26, 2023, the day after his 63rd birthday.
