CEGEP running back joins RSEQ team’s 2016 class.
Donavan Martel has found the place where he can excel on and off the field.
This past weekend, the 5’8, 190 pound running back from Montreal, Quebec committed to the McGill Redmen. Martel will join the team for the 2016 RSEQ season.
“I chose McGill because of their great academic program,” explained Martel of his decision. “I also think that they have everything to be great!”
“The new additions of Coach Ron [Hilaire], Coach [Benoit] Groulx and Coach [Sebastien] Lévesque helped a lot with my decision because like every football player, I want to win and everywhere they go their team performs. I was with them at Team Québec and we finished first in the tournament. So I chose McGill for the school and the new Hilaire era!”
This past season with CEGEP Division 2’s Lionel-Groulx Nordiques, Martel rushed for 1028 yards on 124 carries (average of 8.3 yards per carry) and scored eight touchdowns.
