STAMPEDERS SIGN TAUREAN ALLEN
Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce that defensive back Taurean Allen, the Stamps' 2010 second-round draft pick, has signed with the club. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"We were extremely pleased to select Taurean with our second-round draft pick earlier this month and we're naturally thrilled to have him signed for camp," said Hufnagel. "He's a good player and a top prospect, so we're looking forward to seeing how he stacks up at training camp."
Allen was selected by Calgary in the second round (13th overall) of the 2010 CFL Canadian Draft. He played cornerback for Wilfrid Laurier University and was a three-time Ontario University Athletics all-star. He recorded 16.5 tackles, two knockdowns and one interception during the 2009 season and was invited to play in the 2009 East-West Bowl.
