CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have signed defensive back Taurean Allen, their second-round pick in the CFL Canadian college draft.

Allen was taken 13th overall in the draft. The 23-year-old Wilfrid Laurier standout was a three-time Ontario University Athletics all-star while with the Golden Hawks, and was invited to play in the 2009 East-West Bowl.

“We were extremely pleased to select Taurean with our second-round draft pick earlier this month and we’re naturally thrilled to have him signed for camp,” Stampeders head coach and GM John Hufnagel said in a statement. “He’s a good player and a top prospect, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he stacks up at training camp.” Allen, a Toronto native, had 16.5 tackles, two knockdowns and an interception for the Golden Hawks last season.
