Early years
Franklin Armstrong was born in Miami, Manitoba. He grew up in Miami, born to parents Ruben and Jackie Armstrong. He attended Kelvin High School in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the purpose of athletics where he lettered in both football and baseball. In his senior year of highschool, he fully committed to football and the position of QB.
College career
Franklin Armstrong made the shocking choice to join the newly formed Winnipeg Wesmen football program instead of the much larger, and fully established football program with the University of Manitoba Bisons. His decision shocked many, as the youngster had cited that the smaller and fledging program at the University of Winnipeg was where he intended to make a name for himself in the CIS. And make a name for himself he did. As a true freshmen he led a the Wesmen to an undefeated 8-0 regular season. The Wesmen upset their fast rivals the University of Manitoba Bisons, en route to an eventual 28-24 Vanier Cup win against the favoured Western Ontario Mustangs in 2025. Down 24-14 at the start of the 4th, Armstrong led two consecutive touchdown drives to take the lead as the Wesmen held on for the win. He was rewarded the Ted Morris Memorial trophy as the game's outstanding player. Adding to his accolades, he was named 1st-team Quarterback for the 2025 CIS All-Candadian team at the end of the season. He also earned the prestigious Hec Crighton Trophy honouring the top football player across the country. An injury riddled 2026 CIS season for Armstrong saw the Wesmen plummet from a 5-0 start to 5-3 and a Hardy Trophy loss to the Calgary Dinos. This marked the end for Armstrong's Wesmen career.
