Steven Jyles, Louisiana-Monroe’s fourth-year starting quarterback, has signed with the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton franchise.

Eskimos general manager Paul Jones, a Monroe resident, presented Jyles with a No. 7 jersey during today’s news conference to announce the signing.

Terms of Jyles’ deal were undisclosed but Jones confirmed that it was a multi-year agreement. He will report with other Eskimo quarterbacks in mid-May for pre-season training.

Jyles is the first ULM quarterback to join the Canadian League since Raymond Philyaw, who signed with Winnipeg in 1997.

He was named player and offensive player of the year in the Sun Belt Conference as a senior. Jyles led the league in total offense and is the league’s all-time leading passer.
