Another Owl Signs Professional Football Contract

KENNESAW, Ga. — Former Kennesaw State defensive back Derrick Farrow has signed a professional contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Farrow becomes the first Owl to sign in the CFL.

His signing comes in the same month that fellow defensive back Dante Blackmon became the first Kennesaw State player to ink an NFL contract. Blackmon was signed by the Indianapolis Colts. The announcement of Farrow’s signing was made Sunday by his agent, Allied Sports, as the Alouettes concluded their 2017 rookie camp. The team’s training camp begins today with their preseason set for June 8 versus Toronto.

“I’m thrilled to see Derrick to sign with Montreal,” said head coach Brian Bohannon. “He was an important part of the development of our program and had a great career in the two years he played for us. Derrick was a leader, and took care of his business in the classroom and on the field. I’m proud to see him sign a pro contract and I’m confident he will represent Kennesaw State well.”

A two-time second-team All-Big South selection, Farrow started all 22 games he played as an Owl and totaled 110 career tackles, forced five fumbles and intercepted a pass in each season. Farrow transferred to Kennesaw State from East Central Community College where he was ranked as the No. 3 junior college safety in the country. The Cochran, Ga., native, who graduated from KSU this May, attended Bleckley County High School.
