NATCHEZ — Loyalty goes a long way for Sky Logan.

Because of this, Logan had no doubt he would sign to play football with the University of Texas at El Paso, despite multiple offers from various schools.

Logan, who played for David King and Josh Loy at Trinity Episcopal Day School before graduating in 2013 and playing at Hinds Community College, had several offers from schools such as Boise State, University of Louisiana-Lafayette, Purdue and Cincinnati. However, Logan’s promising sophomore season was derailed after he broke his leg against Northeast Community College in the second game of the 2014 season. Following the injury, the offers vanished.

“It was a freak play,” Logan said. “I was pass rushing, and we ran a twist on the line. I came free, so the defensive end was coming inside, and I jumped while he got cut blocked. He rolled toward me and landed on my leg, breaking it.”

One FBS school stuck it out with Logan, though, and because UTEP remained loyal to him, Logan remained loyal to the university, by signing to play football for the Miners. Because of what’s transpired, Logan will be bringing a lot of attitude with him to Texas.

“I definitely have a chip on my shoulder now,” Logan said. “I get to play teams close to home like Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss. I’m fired up. I’m so ready to play.”

Before the injury, Logan received playing time as a reserve on the defensive line in 2013, collecting 34 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two interceptions.

Currently, Logan is still rehabbing his leg, doing jumps and jogging to strengthen his leg.

“I just can’t wait to join the team and get ready for next season,” Logan said.
