The B.C. Lions have signed American receiver and return specialist Isaiah Wooden.

The five-foot-nine, 170-pound native of San Diego, Calif. played his final two collegiate seasons at Southern Utah University where he made 100 receptions for 1,726 yards and 20 touchdowns over two collegiate seasons. He also returned 14 kicks for 386 yards and was named All-United Athletic Conference in 2023.

Wooden went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft before attending rookie minicamp with the Atlanta Falcons and signed a contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. He reportedly ran a 4.38-second forty-yard dash at his pro day and leaped 44.5 inches in the vertical jump.

The B.C. Lions (7-6) will host the Toronto Argonauts (6-6) on Friday, Sept. 13 with kickoff slated for 10:00 p.m. EDT.
