The Edmonton Elks announced Friday the signing of American Stefan Claiborne (DB).
Claiborne, 24, returns to Edmonton after spending time with the Elks in training camp before being released following the team’s first pre-season game. Over his four-year college career at Western Michigan, the defensive back appeared in 45 games, posting 177 tackles and 3.5 tackles for lost yardage, with eight pass breakups. He was three-time Academic All-MAC honouree (2017, 2018, 2019) and helped Western Michigan to three bowl appearances (2016 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic; 2018 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl; 2019 SERVPRO First Responder Bowl).
The Elks return to action on Monday when they take on the Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. MDT.
