Prior to his professional career, Davis honed his skills at Syracuse University from 2017 to 2020. In the span of four seasons, the Gatineau, QC native contributed to the Syracuse Orange in 25 games, showcasing his capabilities on the collegiate stage.

The addition of Davis is part of the larger roster development strategy being implemented by the Elks, as they also recently extended Acheampong and signed Arland Bruce IV. With the CFL revealing a list of pending free agents for 2024 and CFL.ca’s identification of the top 30 pending free agents, teams are strategically identifying and securing talent to build competitive rosters for future success.

As the CFL landscape continues to shift with each team vying for prowess, the Edmonton Elks‘ recent signings reflect their commitment to enhancing their lineup and their quest for a championship title in the coming seasons. With the signing of Patrick Davis, the Elks underscore their determination to establish a strong presence on the front line, aiming to create solid foundations for offensive success.
