Taylor Elgersma is headed back north of the border.
The Canadian quarterback signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday, the team announced.
Elgersma, 24, spent last season in the United Football League with the Birmingham Stallions. However, due to issues with a work visa, he didn’t appear in any games.
Before joining the Stallions, Elgersma tried his hand in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.
The six-foot-five, 227-pound Elgersma spent training camp with the Packers and appeared in three pre-season games before he was waived by the team ahead of the regular season.
Elgersma signed with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent after attending the NFL team’s mini-camp. He became just the fourth Canadian university quarterback to sign south of the border and the first since ’87.
The London, Ont., native won the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top player in Canadian university football with the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks in 2024.
In his senior season at Laurier, Elgersma passed for 4,011 yards, 34 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He added 223 yards and six touchdowns rushing and led the Golden Hawks to a Vanier Cup appearance.
The Blue Bombers drafted the rights to Elgersma with the 18th overall selection in the 2025 CFL Draft.
