FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco Fighters announced today that the team has signed wide receiver Jaelan Austin for the 2023 season. The 6-foot-2, 198-pound receiver joins the Fighters from the Canadian Football League's (CFL) Ottawa Redblacks where he spent two seasons (2019-2021).

Prior to his professional career, the native of Grand Prairie, Texas attended Texas Christian University (TCU) from 2015 - 2019. As a true freshman, Austin played in 12 games making 10 catches for 137 yards.
