University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba have signed a new twin lineman from their local talent pool. Offensive lineman Drew Boucher and defensive tackle Jordin Boucher will join the Herd for the upcoming season.

“I joined the Bisons because I really like the recruiting class they’ve brought in the past few years, and there’s no place like home,” Drew states.

At 6’4, 245lbs, Drew has been a rock at offensive line and long snapper. He began playing football with the Transcona Nationals (MMFA), and has just finished his high school ball with the Murdoch Mackay Clansmen (WHSFL).

Drew’s goals while he’s with the Bisons are to get better everyday and to push himself as hard as he can.
