EDMONTON – The Edmonton Elks have extended American defensive back Kordell Jackson and National defensive linemen Noah Curtis, the club announced Wednesday.
In his first season (2024) with the Green and Gold, Jackson finished fourth among all Elks defenders in tackles (51) and tied for second in interceptions (four). His extension will run through the 2027 season.
Curtis returns to the Double E after spending the previous three seasons with the team. The six-foot-five lineman missed the entire 2025 season due to an injury suffered in training camp, but was a solid interior defender in his first two years with the club. In 2024, Curtis finished second on the Elks in sacks with six and was one of only two National players to record a quarterback takedown that season.
As a rookie out of Keiser University in 2023, the 27-year-old suited up for all 18 games, registering 23 tackles and two sacks. His extension will run through the 2026 season.
