Auburn senior Logan Rowell will attend Doane University this fall, where he will compete in track and field.
Rowell will participate in his signature events, the shot put and discus.
Doane head track and field coach Ed Fye attended the signing and said Rowell’s recruitment was driven by his athleticism and work ethic.
“He’s a great athlete who works hard and has great character,” Fye said. “He came highly recommended by former teammates of mine, Jim Weeks and Marty Hughes.”
Rowell received the Doane Board of Trustees Scholarship for academics, along with an athletic scholarship. He plans to study education and hopes to return to Auburn Public Schools to teach and coach.
During his high school career, Rowell medaled at the 2025 state track meet, placing sixth in the shot put in Class B. He also was a conference champion in both the shot put and discus and was named team MVP last year. 
This season, Rowell has already broken a meet record and is aiming to qualify for state competition again in track after winning third at the state championships in Class C-1 Boys Wrestling in February of this year.
