Gregor Bruce MacKellar (born July 22, 1998) is a Canadian professional football offensive lineman for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He is a two-time Grey Cup champion after winning with the Argonauts in 2022 and 2024.
MacKellar first attended Rice University in 2017 and had a redshirt season while a member of the Rice Owls.[1] Following a coaching change, MacKellar sought a transfer and moved back to Nova Scotia to become a member of the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in time for the 2018 season.[2] In his first season, the X-Men were Loney Bowl champions after defeating the Saint Mary's Huskies.[3] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 U Sports football season. In his fourth and final year, in 2021, he was named a U Sports Second Team All-Canadian and again won the Loney Bowl in a victory over the Bishop's Gaiters.[3]
MacKellar was ranked as the 19th best player in the Canadian Football League's Amateur Scouting Bureau final rankings for players eligible in the 2022 CFL Draft.[4] He was then drafted in the first round, sixth overall, in the draft by the Toronto Argonauts.[5] He then signed with the team on May 10, 2022.[5] Following training camp, he was placed on the injured list, but soon after played in his first career professional game on July 4, 2022, against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[3] His first game played outside of Toronto's BMO Field was in Wolfville, Nova Scotia as part of Touchdown Atlantic where he dressed as a backup offensive lineman in his home province.[6] [7] He played in 16 regular season games in 2022 and started in 12 of them.[8]
In the 2023 season, MacKellar played in all 18 regular season games, starting in one.[8] He also dressed in the team's East Final loss to the Montreal Alouettes.[8] In the 2024 season, MacKellar began he season as an opening day starter, but was moved to the injured list after eight games.[9] He returned as a starter in the team's meaningless final game of the regular season, but was relegated to backup duty for the team's postseason.[9] He dressed in all three post-season games, including the 111th Grey Cup where the Argonauts defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 41–24.[10]
MacKellar was born to parents Bruce and Kelly MacKellar.[1] He has one sister, Ainsley, who also attended St. Francis Xavier University.[2] MacKellar plays bagpipes and competed in 2013 World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.[3]
