Shologan was considered a top pick in the 2008 CFL Draft and a possible pick of the Edmonton Eskimos along with Dimitri Tsoumpas and Samuel Giguere.[2] However Shologan signed with the San Diego Chargers. He attended the Chargers training camp; however, he was cut on June 21.[3][4]
A week after he was cut by San Diego he signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[5] He joined Saskatchewan in week eight after they drafted him with the fourth pick in the 2008 draft.[1] He appeared in one game as a backup defensive lineman against the Edmonton Eskimos and recorded two tackles.[1][3] The Roughriders lost Shologan's debut by a score of 27–10.[6] During the Roughriders 2009 training camp, Shologan was called a "standout" by head coach Ken Miller, and when told about Miller's comments, Shologan responded by saying "aw shucks".[3] On August 16, 2009, Shologan scored his first ever CFL touchdown against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a tight end on a 1-yard reception in the end zone from Steven Jyles. After the 2010 Grey Cup, Shologan was named the game's Top Canadian for his performance, despite the Roughriders loss to the Montreal Alouettes.[7]
