Future potential steers CEGEP recruit towards Bishop’s

CEGEP fullback signs with RSEQ team.

David Sheridan-Wall is making the move to a smaller CIS town.

Recently, the 5ā€™11, 235 pound fullback from Kirkland, Quebec signed with the Bishopā€™s Gaiters.Ā  Sheridan-Wall will join the team for the 2015 RSEQ season.

ā€œI chose Bishop`s mainly because it felt like the ideal fit for me, both for the academics and for the football program,ā€ explained Sheridan-Wall of his decision.Ā  ā€œGetting out of the house and moving from Montreal to a small town like Lennoxville is something I was very interested in.ā€

ā€œI was also really intrigued with the Sports Studies and Business program that they offer at Bishopā€™s, as I am hoping I`ll be able to pursue a career within both those fields.ā€

Moreover, the positive direction and the potential of the Gaitersā€™ football program was also a lucrative selling point for the Quebec standout. Ultimately, Sheridan-Wall is hoping to make an immediate, noticeable impact in years to come.

ā€œThe football program at Bishop`s was very intriguing for me as I believe there is a well-rounded coaching staff that seems to provide help and mentor all their players,ā€ elaborated Sheridan-Wall. ā€œThe team itself seems rather young, and I believe there is great potential for the future.ā€

ā€œAs I am switching from Guard to Fullback, I am excited to learn and adapt to a new position. I am hoping to make a significant impact on both the offensive and special teams units, with tremendous hard work and dedication, on and off the field. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life.ā€

Sheridan-Wall has completed a stint with CEGEP Division 2 team John Abbott College Islanders.Ā  With his commitment to the Gaiters, he will be reunited with former Islander teammates.

ā€œI have some former teammates and friends from John Abbott who are presently at Bishop`s which made my decision even easier,ā€ added the fullback who also previously suited up for Lakeshore Cougars.
