Edmonton Elks News Release
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Elks have signed American Jordan Strachan (DL) to the practice roster, the club announced Tuesday.
The 25-year-old spent three seasons with the South Carolina Gamecocks from 2021-2025, recording eight sacks in 27 games (11 starts) with the club.

In Strachan's final season with the Panthers, he recorded 10.5 sacks in 10 games, with 14 tackles-for-loss.
