The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed wide receiver Jaylen Hall on Friday.
Jaylen Hall is six foot three and weighs 180 pounds. The 24-year-old from Macomb, Michigan, was on the Edmonton Elks practice squad in 2023. The Elks signed Hall as a free agent on July 16, 2023, before he was released three days later. Before Edmonton, Hall attended a rookie minicamp with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Collegiately, Hall played four seasons at Western Michigan (2018-21) with 85 catches for 1,532 yards and 14 touchdowns in 43 games for the Broncos. In 2020, Hall finished second on the team in receiving TDs (7), trailing only 2021 NFL Draft second-round pick D’Wayne Eskridge’s eight.
Then, Hall transferred to Western Kentucky in 2022 making 53 catches for 759 yards, six touchdowns, two carries for 19 yards, nine punt returns for 106 yards, and one touchdown in 11 games for the Hilltoppers. Hall recorded over 100 yards receiving in three of four games to end the season including a season-high 138 yards and a touchdown in WKU’s R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl Championship.
