Queen’s “best opportunity to maximize potential” for Quebec recruit

Queen’s Golden Gaels have announced the addition of John Bews to their football program.

The 6’4, 225 pound tight end from Pointe Claire, Quebec will join the Golden Gaels for the 2015 OUA season.

Recently, Bews completed his high school career south of the border with Concord, New Hampshire‘s St. Paul’s. This past season, he racked up 432 yards on 19 receptions and scored five touchdowns.

“John is a great catch for us here at Queen’s,” commented Golden Gaels Head Coach Pat Sheahan.  “He is a Loyola High School grad from Montreal, QC who has played the past two years at St Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire.”

“He was a member of the 2013 Team Quebec under-18 club that won the Canada Cup Gold medal in Moncton, New Brunswick.  John is an outstanding “big receiver” in the Queen’s tradition. He stands all of 6’3 and weighs in at 225 pounds.  He is a classic tight-end who will profit from a running start in the CIS. He has a physical presence and he excels as a possession receiver the high traffic areas. He is also an excellent blocker.  He has followed a similar pathway as former Gael receiver Scott MacDonell, now playing for the Ottawa Redblacks. John is an excellent student will study in the Arts faculty.”

For his part, Bews felt the Kingston, Ontario campus gave him the best chance to succeed on and off the field.

“The main reason I decided to commit to Queens is because I feel like it is the university that gives me the best opportunity to maximize my potential in the classroom and on the field,” elaborated Bews.
