GAITERS FOOTBALL WELCOMES RECORD WINTER RECRUITING CLASS
February 8, 2008
LENNOXVILLE
– Bishop’s Gaiters Head Football Coach Leroy Blugh is pleased to
announce that a team-record 14 players have joined the Gaiters Football
team for the winter semester. The 14-player class includes five
receivers, two running backs, four offensive linemen, two defensive
backs and one defensive lineman.
The
Winter 2008 class is highlighted by offensive lineman Dominick Richard,
a Sherbrooke native, who joins the Gaiters after four seasons with the
Cégep de Sherbrooke Volontaires. Richard was a key member of the
Volontaires’ perfect 13-0 season, and was named a league all-star for
the third straight season. He was also the 2005 Cégep AA Division 2
Offensive Lineman of the Year.
The class
also includes four members of the St. Léonard Cougars, who were the 2007
Canadian Junior finalists, after posting an undefeated regular season.
The influx of Cougars is headed two-time CJFL All-Canadian Delien
Charles, and includes linemen Adamo Iadeluca and Josh McLellan, as well
as running back Erik Rice.
The
Gaiters have also received three incoming transfers, as Chris Bromfield
and Brandon Weekes have transferred from the University of Ottawa, while
Jérôme Roy has moved across town from the University of Sherbrooke.
