Manitoba brings in a Winnipeg commit to their Class of 2017.
When September rolls around, Cole Adamson, a defensive tackle from Oak Park High School, will have the chance to don the colours of his local team, the University of Manitoba Bisons.
āItād be great to play for my hometown in front of my family and friends,ā the product of Winnipeg, Manitoba, said. āI chose to commit to Manitoba because of the great coaching staff, program and facilities.ā
Adamson will be stepping into a team who is poised to make some noise in the upcoming U Sports season. āThe 2017 recruiting class is a great group of talented players,ā he said.
When it comes to the coaches, Adamson likes what he sees: āMost of the staff has coached together for over 20 years. They are all passionate about the sport, team and the university.ā
