Following his commitment, the Montreal receiver issued the following statement:

“My decision to commit at McGill wasn’t too difficult as it was the top choice on my list for many reasons if I was staying in the country.”

“Studying in Computerized Systems Technology at Vanier, McGill was offering me the chance to graduate as an Engineer from a top quality institution known across the world. Their facilities are equipped with high tech material and the association of graduate is recognized for their well-established network relations. These aspects had a lot of weight on my decision.”

“Football wise, I knew the Offensive Coordinator [Pat Boies] and Quarterback Coach [Benoit Groulx] with whom I won the U18 Canada Cup few years ago and I really liked their way of running the offense. Joining the Redmen was also allowing me the chance to compete at the slot receiver and returner position and by God’s grace and hard work bring a positive impact on the field as soon as during my rookie year.”

“To top it off, many of my friends were already member of the football team”

“These factors made McGill, in addition to the wonderful academic background an opportunity to become a successful individual I couldn’t turn down.”
