RUNNING BACKS COACH

Jabari Arthur heads North up the QEII, joining the Elks coaching staff after nine-years in USports with the University of Calgary, most recently serving as the Dinos’ Offensive Coordinator from 2021 to 2025.

The native of Montreal, QC was a wide receiver at the pro and college level, starting out with the University of Akron where he set the school record for both receptions (86) and receiving yards (1,171) in 2007. Arthur joined the Kansas City Chiefs following the NFL Draft, but would spend the majority of his career in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders (2008-09 & 2009-2015).

Arthur’s coaching career began with the Calgary Dinos, joining the program in 2017 as the team’s wide receivers coach — a position he held until his 2022 promotion to offensive coordinator. While serving as receivers coach, Arthur would oversee a group that included future CFL stars Tyson and Jalen Philpot, helping the Calgary Dinos win the 2019 Vanier Cup.
