McMaster adds two out-of-province and one Ontario commit to their class.
Defensive back Marcus Brown from the Westshore Rebels (CJFL), running back Toluwanimi Ojo from Bert Church High School and athlete Curtis Vincent from Assumption College arenāt only committing to the McMaster Marauders for the football, but for the academics as well.
Marcus Brown
Not shying away from any trial, Marcus Brown is ready for the Marauders. āI chose McMaster because of their coaching staff and the challenging academics,ā the potential social sciences student said. āI believe that these coaches can teach me the things I have to know to help me pursue (my career) to the next level.ā
Before joining the Rebels in 2017, Brown spent two years with the Langley Rams (CJFL). The 6ā0, 190lbs halfback is from Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is a former defensive MVP and BCFC champion with the Rams.
Toluwanimi Ojo
From the moment that Toluwanimi Ojo stepped foot on the McMaster campus, he knew that this was the place for him. āI felt McMaster was the best fit for me and my family. I had a lot of fun on my visit and it became clear that this was the best place for me to develop as an individual and an athlete, beautiful campus, great teammates,ā he said.
āHonestly, the coaching staff is awesome, showed genuine interest in me coming out of high school,ā the 6ā0, 225lbs tailback added. āThey place a lot of emphasis on high academic achievement, which I admire, very organized and dedicated coaching staff and Iām looking forward to working with them.ā
Ojoās career has spanned two years with the Bert Church Chargers (RVFL) in his hometown of Bert Church, Alberta. He will be taking computer science with the hope of attending medical school.

Curtis Vincent
When Curtis Vincent began playing football, he couldnāt help but think about where the sport might take him. āI always thought one day (how) it would be amazing to play for a top team in Canada and I am now going to McMaster,ā he said. āI chose to commit because I love the history behind the team and the success they have (had) and I want to be apart of that.ā
Vincent, who is 6ā2, 215lbs, added that the Maraudersā coaches were very welcoming. āThey told me straight truth of what would happen if I were to come to McMaster and all the coaches Iāve talked to so far are great coaches,ā he said. āI canāt wait to get to work with them.ā
Starting his career in high school, Vincent has been involved in football for five years. In that time, the product of Brantford, Ontario, has played with the Assumption Lions (BCSSAA) and the Brantford Bisons (OFC). In 2017, he participated in the Fox 40 Prospect Challenge. He is a three-time team MVP and won a championship in 2013. He will be taking social sciences.
