Cole made an immediate impression in his first preseason with the Edmonton Elks, showing poise and progression each time he stepped on the field. In the opener against Calgary, he went 5‑for‑8 for 76 yards, settling in quickly and moving the offense in his first CFL action. A week later against B.C., he took another step forward, going 4‑for‑5 and leading the Elks on a late touchdown drive that included a 35‑yard strike to Jalon Calhoun, earning praise for looking calm, in control, and ready for a roster spot.
