The Edmonton Elks have signed American Dresser Winn (QB) and National Olivier Charles-Pierre (DL) , the club announced Saturday.
Winn spent six seasons with the UT Martin Skyhawks (2017-22), where he passed for 5,800 yards and 37 touchdowns in 32 career games. The Dresden, Tenn., native led the Skyhawks to back-to-back regular-season championships in the Ohio Valley Conference (2021, 2022) and was named to the All-OVC second team and Phil Steele All-Conference second team as a graduate student in 2022.
