"We're excited for him, he's been a fixture here in our football program for many years," said ECHS Athletic Director Kyle Pierce. "I can still remember when he was...well...he was always tall," he joked as the crowd laughed. "I can still remember him in little league and middle school and knew this day would come."

Logan was joined by his parents, David and Crystal Frederick as he signed the documents for the school. Logan spoke to the crowd about his decision.

"It's been a long, hard four years and I've dealt with some adversity," he said. "This here is going to open up a lot of opportunities for me. I've done a lot of praying and thinking about it and this is where my heart called to, so I'm going to sign with College of the Canyons."

He's been a staple around our football program for a long time. I wish him the best and I think he's done a great job of being a great example for all of our other kids to look up to... He's a great young man, I'm proud of him today."
