Stephen Woit will be leaving his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, and crossing provincial lines. It’s a decision he is completely fine with. “Their facilities are amazing, really nice campus. It felt like home,” he said. “Their coaching staff is amazing, and I feel they will help me reach my full potential as a QB.”
Woit has played for two teams in his seven-year career. In 2017 and 2018 he was the recipient of the “heart and soul” award from the F.W. Johnson Wildcats (RHSSA). Standing at 6’5, 215lbs, he is interested in human justice or criminology.
