In his four seasons with the Golden Hawks, he dressed in 26 games and was a 2025 OUA Second Team All-Star, 2024 Uteck Bowl Champion, and a 2024 Yates Cup Champion. </p><p><strong>Jones</strong> (6&#039;4, 314) joins the Elks after an excellent collegiate career split between Texas State (2023-24) and Incarnate Word (2020-22). As a member of the Incarnate Word Cardinals, Jones was named First team All-Southland Conference in 2021 and Second team All-Southland Conference in 2022. The 24-year-old transferred to Texas State in 2024, and was an All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention and CSC Academic All-District in 2024 with the Bobcats. Following his college career, Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025 and the Denver Broncos in 2026. </p><p><strong>Muhammad</strong> (6&#039;1, 260) adds more depth to the Green and Gold&#039;s pass rush. The 25-year-old defender has spent the last two seasons in the National Football League &mdash; first spending the 2025 season on the Los Angeles Rams practice roster. Muhammad would sign with both the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns in 2026, before becoming a free agent in August. </p><p>For his collegiate career, Muhammad was most recently a member of the USC Trojans from 2023 to 2024, where he accumulated 74 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks in 26 games. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><hr /><h4 id=\"edmonton-elks\" ><strong>EDMONTON ELKS</strong></h4><p>The Edmonton Elks are proud members of the Canadian Football League, playing their home games at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta.</p><p>The club, officially renamed the Elks in June of 2021, has a tradition of excellence having won 14 Grey Cup championships (1954-56, 1975, 1978-82, 1987, 1993, 2003, 2005, 2015).
