Calgary Stampeders<\/a>\u00a0selected Jack with the 71st overall pick in the 2026 CFL Canadian Draft.<\/p>\n“He’s the first person I’ve coached that’s getting a crack at the CFL,” Danny said. “They might get a guy who’s going to turn into one heck of a player one day.”<\/p>\n
Danny described Jack as a tough and disciplined athlete who stood out early in his high school career.<\/p>\n
In Grade 10, Jack earned the team\u2019s Rookie of the Year award and continued developing despite interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
“By the time he got to Grade 10, I had a pretty good idea, just seeing how he did at the high school level, that he would get a shot to play university football,” Danny said.<\/p>\n
In Grade 12, Jack was named the Strathmore High Male Athlete of the Year.<\/p>\n

“He ended up starting every game, which is really rare at the U Sports level,” Danny said.<\/p>\n
Jack was later named Canada West Rookie of the Year and earned a conference all-star selection in 2024.<\/p>\n
He also competed in two Vanier Cup championship games during his university career.<\/p>\n
Danny said Jack\u2019s success shows what young athletes from Strathmore can accomplish.<\/p>\n
