WINNIPEG — The 2020 CFL Draft is in the history books and one member of Bisons football was selected to join the ranks of Canadian pros. Fourth-year defensive end Brock Gowanlock was picked 66th overall in the eighth round by the Montreal Alouettes.
Gowanlock, 23, is a 6'3", 230-pound defensive end who joined the Bisons via the Langley Rams. Changing his position from defensive tackle to defensive end during his time with Manitoba, Gowanlock had an outstanding season in 2019, tallying 35 tackles, one pass breakup, and one sack in eight regular season games, adding five tackles and half a sack in a memorable Hardy Cup semifinal against Calgary.
The Duncan, BC native joins former Bisons DJ Lalama and Landon Rice on the Alouettes roster and becomes the 49th Bison selected in the CFL Draft since the year 2000, the fourth most in U SPORTS.
