The Edmonton Elks have added American defensive lineman Tyreek Johnson to the practice roster.

The six-foot-four, 283-pound native of Sumter, S.C. played 26 collegiate games at the University of South Carolina, recording 29 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He reportedly ran a 4.70-second forty-yard dash at his pro day and recorded a 35-inch vertical jump.

The 26-year-old signed a contract with the New York Jets after going unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft but didn’t see any regular-season action with the team.
