The Edmonton Elks have signed American linebacker Isiah King to their practice roster.
The six-foot-three, 215-pound defender spent the entirety of his collegiate career at the University of Idaho, appearing in 41 games over five seasons. King amassed 152 total tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, three interceptions, and seven passes defended, earning first-team All-Big Sky in 2025.
The San Diego, Cal., native went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft, but would later sign with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. He was released in June before ever reaching training camp.
