Just noticed that Stefan Logan, USD/2007, is also on Montreal's roster. He's 38 years old. Logan had a terrific career at USD, and to his credit, has spent time in the NFL. I admire his durability.

It is amazing how time flies. Stefan Logan 38? I think the last time we played USD In Vermillion 2004, before we moved up to FCS, he was a freshman with good wheels. Very small though.

Jake has another TD reception this afternoon!! Appears to be the guy they go to in short TD situations.

Re: Jake Wieneke - Vikings Hopeful

He’s catching passes from Vernon Adams, who is now their starter.

I hope that having a couple local guys gives the CFL a bit more exposure. It isn't as polished as the NFL, but it is still pretty fun football to watch. I have been to a few Winnipeg games and had just as much fun as I have at NFL stadiums.

That flying time caught up with Logan. He was released July 17 by Montreal and is now the CFL's version of a free agent.

I guess the wheels came off. A pun clearly intended. A great career. It makes one wonder what Logan’s net worth is today.
Garney Henley was involved in management of the CFL after his playing career. He made a living but never made major gifts to Huron College. I don’t think much in Canada has changed since the days of Henley. So I don’t think the USD fans should be expecting any major gifts from Stephan Logan. CFL is not the NFL in terms of$$$. Some of the franchises solicit donations to stay afloat.

Jake Wieneke's team, the Montreal Alouettes, won at home over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers today (9/21/19). Jake led the Alouettes receiving corp in the game with 8 receptions for a total of 134 yards and one TD. Interesting side note: Chris Streveler, former USD quarterback, called the signals for Winnipeg and had a good game.

Jake leads the Alouettes in touchdown receptions with 7.

With all of the tweets and good comments like the one above, I really expected that Jake was tearing up the league. Or at least the best WR in Montreal.

He ranks the following on his team:

TD's - 1st (7 TDs)
Avg. - 3rd (14.2 YPC)
Receptions - 4th (39)
Yards - 4th (555)
YAC - 5th (102)
YAC/catch - 7th (2.64)

These are all solid numbers, but lower than I expected. He fills the role well of the big-bodied receiver. I'd just love to see him get more looks.

Re: Jake Wieneke - Vikings Hopeful

A lot of teams could use that tall receiver for a jump ball in the endzone!

Jake in the CFL: traded by Montreal Alouettes to the Saskatchewan Roughriders for 2023. He’s listed as starting slot back in today’s game against the Ottawa Redblacks. Game time is 5:00 today (Aug 5, 2023).
