O’ Canada! O’ Canada! We have ourselves our first ever international player ever as Huron Heights High School linebacker Owen Lock is making the longest travel out of any participant to Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Saturday, December 30th for the 2023 Gridiron Football All-American Bowl Game. Lock is making history as the first player out of the United States to play in this prestigious game and will get the chance to see how he stacks up against some of the best talent in North America.
“I am very honored and excited to be able to play in the bowl game. As a Canadian, getting to come down south to compete against some excellent American competition is awesome!”

At 6’0, 225 pounds with 4.69/40 speed, Lock has proved to be one of the best players in Canada and has become a very productive player no matter where he has been. Lock has played high school football at three different high schools. His freshman year, he started at the varsity level where he was awarded most valuable defensive lineman. As a sophomore, he played at a different school where he was a team captain and finally, he continued to play at one of the best football programs in Canada in Huron Heights where he made a big impact on both sides of the football with 67 carries for 839 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns on offense to go along with 70 tackles, 16 solo tackles, three forced fumbles, five sacks, and a pick six on defense.

Lock possesses great speed as a running back and that translates to the defensive side of the football where he has a consistent motor and continues to play sideline to sideline. The Canadian linebacker models his game after Luke Kuechly.
“I model my game after Luke Kuechly as we are both very smart. I study film to best prepare myself for the game to better anticipate the play just as Kuechly did.”

His versatility and ability have attracted many interests from Canadian schools such as Queens, University of Toronto, and McMaster, along with some American schools to play football including Brown University and Lock Haven. When football eventually comes to a close for Lock, he would like to give back to the game.
“After my playing days are over, I either want to coach high school football along with being a teacher or becoming a sport physiotherapist.”
