SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19, 2014 /CNW/ -- Football season is
underway and USANA Health Sciences is rushing to welcome Canadian
Football League defensive athletes and 2013 Grey Cup champions,
Tyron Brackenridge and Terrell Maze of the Saskatchewan Roughriders to
Team USANA, as its newest Brand Ambassadors. The CFL duo joins more
than 700 professional and Olympic athletes worldwide who receive
USANA's NSF and HFL-tested products.
"Partnering with players from one of Canada's most popular sports, as well as
teams, is an honor and natural step for USANA," said USANA Chief
Communications Officer Dan Macuga.
"The addition of these two exceptional Grey Cup champions to the
USANA family is a testament to USANA's continued commitment of
supplying elite athletes with products they can trust."
Brackenridge, 30, is in his fourth year with the Saskatchewan team, after spending fours years
in the National Football League with the Jacksonville Jaguars and
Kansas City Chiefs. During the 2013 season the California native led the league with five
forced fumbles and was named Defensive Player of the Week in week
eight and a CFL All-Star.
"Being able to perform as an elite athlete requires optimal
health and wellness, and by partnering with USANA I am confident in
reaching my health goals safely and effectively," says Maze.
The 30-year-old kicked off his third year with the Roughriders
earlier this summer, coming off of a successful 2013 season where
he started 13 regular season games, the West Semi-Final, West Final
and Grey Cup. The five-foot-eleven cornerback began his
professional career in 2007 when he was signed by the Baltimore
Ravens as an undrafted free agent.
Brackenridge and Maze step back on the field August 24, as the Roughriders face the British
Columbia Lions at the BC Place Stadium, at 8
p.m. EST.

or dedicated users who have received compensation for their
partnership and/or complimentary USANA products.
