Elks In The Offseason

Elks in the Offseason: Eugene Lewis

EDMONTON, AB – There are big-play wide receivers and then there is Eugene “Geno” Lewis. The Elks star is fresh off his first season in the Green and Gold in 2023 after his big time free-agent acquisition from Montreal last February. It’s safe to say Lewis has come as advertised. The wideout led all Elks receivers in yards with 844 yards on only 48 receptions during his abbreviated 12 game debut campaign. A knee injury held the star out for six-games from week 4-10, ...

Elks in the Offseason: Kevin Brown

EDMONTON, AB – Edmonton Elks running back Kevin Brown exploded onto the CFL scene in September of 2022. In the final seven games of the season, the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina product racked up 662 all purpose yards while averaging 6.6 yards per carry on the ground. The performance saw Brown voted as the Elks Most Outstanding Rookie, despite only appearing in just over a third of the team’s games. Brown’s 2023 encore proved the 27-year-old running back was legit, finishing second ...

Elks in the Offseason: McLeod Bethel-Thompson

Elks in the Offseason: Tre Ford

EDMONTON – He’s one of the most exciting players in the Canadian Football League, and likely all of football. Tre Ford is nearly finished preparing for his third season with the Elks after being selected eighth overall by the club in the 2022 CFL Draft. Last year, Ford was given the reigns to Jarious Jackson’s offence for the second half of the season.

Elks in the Offseason: Kyran Moore

EDMONTON, AB – One thing about Kyran, is he always gives you Moore. The diminutive wide receiver (by pro-football standards) is the type of player you give an inch and he takes a foot. Moore led the Canadian Football League in yards-after-catch last season with 490 of his 743 receiving yards coming with the ball already in his hands. With full season inside the Elks offence under his belt and veteran signal caller McLeod Bethel-Thompson under centre, there are a lot of reasons to be ...

Elks in the Offseason : Kai Gray

EDMONTON, AB – The arrow is pointing up for Elks defensive back Kai Gray. The 26-year-old had a successful first foray into the Canadian Football League — finishing third on the team in defensive tackles with 54, while adding two interceptions. The Lincoln University standout’s promising rookie season featured plenty of highlights, but at the top of the list was his 56-yard pick six against the B.C. Lions on Sept. 22. Gray wrapped up the year as the Elks nominee for Most ...

Elks in the Offseason: Scott Hutter

EDMONTON, AB – A versatile defender and special teams standout, Scott Hutter continues to be a valuable piece to the Edmonton Elks puzzle. Still only 26-years-old, the former sixth-round pick has made the most of his time in the CFL since being selected from Wilfried Laurier University in 2019. Hutter was a regular starter at safety in 2022 and a major contributor on special teams last season. The Canadian led the Elks in special teams tackles with 17 in 2023 and looks poised to ...

Elks in the Offseason: Mark Korte

EDMONTON, AB – Just a local guy living his childhood dream. The 27-year-old offensive lineman has been a staple in front of Elks quarterbacks for the last two seasons. Korte will be back with the Elks for the 2024 season, anchoring the middle of the offensive line as the team’s starting centre. The Spruce Grove, AB product is Edmonton through and through, having played his University ball with the Alberta Golden Bears and making his way home in 2022 CFL Free Agency after three ...

Elks in the Offseason: Tanner Green

EDMONTON, AB – It just seems like a tradition for Edmonton’s longest-serving player to be a Canadian fullback. Tanner Green will be entering his sixth season with the Green and Gold since being drafted by the club in the fourth round (32nd overall) in the 2018 Canadian Football League draft. The 30-year-old has admirably followed in the footsteps of franchise stalwart Calvin McCarty, who played 13 seasons with the Elks at running back and fullback prior to his 2021 ...

Elks in the Offseason - Gavin Cobb

EDMONTON, AB – The next generation of Canadian players is vital for the CFL, and Gavin Cobb is one who is starting to make an impact. The 26-year-old receiver is fresh off his first season with the Edmonton Elks, after a devastating ankle injury in 2022 Elks training camp forced him to miss his entire rookie season. The Manitoba Bisons alumni had teased some electric playmaking ability in camp prior to the injury, and last season he began to show signs of the playmaker he can be. Cobb ...
