Carleton opens its Christmas presents early!

The Carleton Ravens announced the following recruiting commitments on December 23rd.
Steve Sumarah, Ravens’ head coach is pleased to announce the following student/athlete commitments for next season.

James McCallum, a 6’1”, 180 pound, defensive back from Mississauga, Ontario.

McCallum attends Champlain College in Lennoxville, Quebec and played Division 1 College football for the Cougars.

Michael Black is 6 feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. Black is also a DB and hails from Ottawa, Ontario.

McCallum and Black were teammates at Champlain College this past fall as the Cougars were crowned the 2013 Bol d’Or Champions.

...

The program would also like to announce the signing of Tevin Bowen a 6’1”, 260 pound defensive lineman from Robert Hall High School. Bowen is from Orangeville Ontario.
McCallum must be the same that James McCallum that earned an OVFL all-star nod for the Mississauga Warriors this past season.  He was credited with 24 solo tackles, 21 assists and three interceptions.

Black is a little harder to pin down.  He has played on both sides of the ball (receiver as well as DB) and in fact has played so much that you're concerned that you're confusing two people with the same name.  Assuming I have the right guy, he was also not only an all-star in NCAFA (in 2011) but also league MVP for the Midget-level Orleans Bengals and has played for St. Matthews high school.

I believe Bowen had originally committed to McMaster so seeing his name in this release is a bit of a surprise.  He played for the OVFL's Brampton Bulldogs recording 14 solo tackles, 21 assists and two sacks in 2012.
