DL Micah Logan
The University of British Columbia is staying in province with their latest addition. Abbotsford’s Micah Logan has decided to stay at home and join the Thunderbirds.
Micah chose UBC because of its proximity to his home and support system, the excellent academic opportunities, the great family feel to the team, and because he has the ability to work with his defensive line coach twice a week pre-season.
The 6’3, 299lbs nose guard/defensive lineman is looking at either Indigenous Studies or Speech Sciences for his post-secondary education. Micah explains, “I have a learning disability and speech sciences would give me the opportunity to investigate that learning disability.”
Micah began playing football when he was nine with the Abbotsford Falcons (VCFL). He changed to Abbotsford Secondary School once he entered grade nine. Micah has participated in two exposure games, the All-Star Bowl and the ABC Border Bowl.
I’m very excited and grateful to announce my full commitment to the @UABearsFootball!! Thank you to the whole staff for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime!
And thank you to all my teammates and coaches that have helped me along my football path until now!!@AbbyPanthers pic.twitter.com/RV4oUz2IFK— Haidyn Vermeulen (@HaidynVermeulen) September 25, 2020

DB Owen Miller
The University of Manitoba has brought in another commit from Sisler High School. Owen Miller will be joining the Bisons in 2021 after spending his high school years with the Sisler Spartans (WHSFL).
“I’ve played football for most of my life and playing at the University level was always a big goal of mine,” he says. “After playing for Manitoba’s provincial team, I was able to develop close relationships with the coaches on a football level and a personal level. These coaches were coaches from the University of Manitoba so having said this, it just felt like the place to be and like a second family.”
Owen will be enrolling in education to potentially become a middle school teacher/school teacher.
At 5’11, 175lbs defensive back is Owen’s primary position. He can also play safety, halfback and cornerback. Owen has been a member of Manitoba’s provincial U16 and U18 teams. He has joined Recruit Ready’s 7v7 team which has taken him to Chicago, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Atlanta, and Grand Forks, North Dakota. Owen played his minor football for the North Winnipeg Nomads (MMFA) from seven to fourteen and he spent his last four years with the Sisler Spartans.

CFC100 Deakon Young
The Calgary Dinos offseason is picking up with the signing of defensive back Deakon Young. Deakon comes to Calgary after spending his time with the New Westminster Secondary School (BCSSFA).

The 5’10 165 lbs defensive back started playing football for a Vancouver community team called the Warriors (VMFL). In grade 10, Deakon transferred to New Westminster where he played his high school football. Deakon is primarily a defensive back but he has also spent time at running back and returner.
