Saskatchewan Huskies ‘have great potential’

Huskies add one provincial commit and two out-of-province commits to their team.

For Blade Wiggins, a receiver from Evan Hardy Collegiate, it is all positive feelings towards the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. James Bruin, a linebacker from Oak Park High School, and Jaxon Baker, an offensive lineman from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, will also be joining the Huskies.

University is a time of growth and Blade Wiggins intends on doing just that. โ€œI chose to commit to the Huskies because I feel theyโ€™d create me into the best possible version of myself both on and off the field. They are a great program that continues to grow and develop each year. The Huskies have great potential,โ€ Wiggins said.

โ€œThe people at the university are awesome people that I am familiar with for the most part. All in all, I feel itโ€™s the place that best suits me,โ€ he added.

In terms of the coaches, Wiggins said he has nothing but positive things to say. โ€œThey all seem to be understanding, caring coaches that want nothing more than to see each of their players succeed,โ€ he said. โ€œI also enjoy the fact that they all have a good sense of humour. They are a lot of fun but at the same time they know when to get down to business.โ€

Wiggins, who is 6โ€™, 175lbs, is interested in kinesiology, which he said is an excellent program at the school. He plans on being either a chiropractor or physiotherapist. โ€œSo, if I donโ€™t make it pro, Iโ€™ll be able to stay around the game in some aspect and help other athletes stay healthy for their careers,โ€ he said.

During his peewee and bantam years, Wiggins played for the Saskatoon Raiders in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In high school he was a member of the Evan Hardy Souls (SHSAA) from grade 10 to 12. He was a 2013 defensive MVP and a 2015 offensive MVP. In 2017 and 2018 he was โ€˜athlete of the year.โ€™ He was also an MVP last season.

James Bruin

James Bruin is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he played with the Oak Park Raiders (WHSFL). He was named as โ€˜player of the yearโ€™ in 2016 while in the junior varsity conference. Standing at 5โ€™11, 175lbs, he has played as an outside linebacker and fullback.

Jaxon Baker

Jaxon Baker of Lethbridge, Alberta, has played with the Lethbridge CI Rams (SAHSFL) since 2016. He is a towering 6โ€™6, 310lbs and plays as a guard and tackle.
