TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced a trade with Edmonton today. The Argos have acquired the playing rights to American RB Spencer Brown in exchange for a 2026 conditional eighth-round draft pick.
Brown, 6’0″/220lbs, signed with the Elks in June after attending training camp with Hamilton this past May. The Alabama native attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham from 2017-2020, and he left as the school’s all-time leader in rushing yards (4,011), rushing touchdowns (41), total touchdowns (42), and 100-yard games (19). The 26-year-old is the only player in Conference USA history to be named C-USA Championship game MVP twice (2018, 2020) after rushing for a total of 295 yards and one touchdown. Brown signed with the Carolina Panthers coming out of school in 2021 and would spend three years with the NFC South organization. The running back signed with Atlanta in 2024 before coming to the CFL.
