Darnell Sankey is heading to the XFL.
A CFL source said Wednesday that the veteran middle linebacker has signed with the Arlington Renegades of the XFL.
The source spoke on the condition of anonymity as the Renegades have yet to announce the move.
The six-foot-one, 245-pound Sankey became a CFL free agent Tuesday.
Sankey, 28, registered a CFL-leading 120 tackles last season, his first with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
He posted a league-leading 98 tackles in 2021 with the Calgary Stampeders.
