LEGACY SERIES | RICHARD GRAHAM

Some players make tackles.

Some players make history.

Richard Graham was the heartbeat of the Ottawa Sooners defense and the standard by which toughness, accountability, and leadership were measured.

A Team Captain and finalist for the 2023 CJFL Defensive MVP Award, Richard helped lead one of the nation’s top-ranked defensive units. His impact went far beyond the stat sheet. He set the tone every day—with relentless effort, uncompromising standards, and a commitment to excellence that became the foundation of the team’s identity.

As the leader of a defense that built a “No Loss” mentality, Richard demanded the best from everyone around him. His presence in the locker room, on the practice field, and under the lights on game day helped shape a culture where excuses were unacceptable and brotherhood came first.

The legacy he leaves behind isn’t measured solely by tackles, sacks, or awards. It’s measured by the standard he set and the players who continue to carry it forward.

Strength. Leadership. Accountability. Brotherhood.

Richard Graham wasn’t just part of the defense.

He was the heart and soul of it.

Legacy Series – Honouring the players who helped build the Ottawa Sooners tradition.

🏈 LEGACY SERIES | OWEN COWAN #8

Every chapter of the Ottawa Sooners story is written by the players who earn the “S.”

In 2022, Owen Cowan arrived ready to make an impact. Through hard work, determination, and a relentless commitment to the team, he quickly established himself as one of the league’s brightest young talents, earning Ottawa Sooners Offensive Rookie of the Year honours.

From big plays to unforgettable moments, Owen helped carry forward the tradition of excellence that has defined the Orange & Black since 1960.

Today, we celebrate his contribution to the brotherhood and his place in Sooners history.

Once a Sooner, Always a Sooner.
