Gaels welcome two Ontario commits and two out-of-province commits to their 2019 class.
CFC100s Erik Anderson, an offensive lineman from AB Lucas Secondary School, and Eddie Gonzalez, a defensive lineman from Trinity Pawling School, know they are right where they belong with the Queen’s Gaels.
CFC100 Sebastian Hansen, a linebacker from Mount Douglas Secondary School, and Oliver Kulik, an offensive lineman from Football North Clarkson, will also be joining the Gaels.
CFC100 Erik Anderson
For Erik Anderson, it was all about the coaches. โI chose Queenโs because of the combination of their strong academics and great football tradition and also because I really like the coaching staff they have now,โ he said.
โThe coaching staff is great. My relationships with many of the coaches were a big reason why I chose Queenโs and Iโm really excited to have the change to work with them.โ
The massive 6โ6, 285lbs lineman is interested in concurrent education or arts.
Anderson, who is from London, Ontario, played with the Forest City Thunderbirds (OFC) from 2015 to 2017. He was also a member of the AB Lucas Vikings (TVRA) from 2015 to 2018. He is a two-time participant in the Fox 40 Prospect Challenge. He won the 2018 Dr. Jim Allen award for being Londonโs top lineman of the year. He was a two-time TVRA all-star in 2017 and 2018. He also helped the Vikings win two TVRA championships in 2016 and 2018.
Excited to announce my commitment to Queens Football! Big thanks to my family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who was part of the recruiting process. @SteveSnyderQ @queensgaels @chatfootball

CFC100 Eddie Gonzalez
During his recruitment, Eddie Gonzalez said he visited many great schools. But it was Queenโs that won him over. โOnce I stepped foot on Queenโs (campus), I knew right away it was the school I wanted to go to,โ he said. โMy goal while playing prep football was to play in the States, but after weighing some pros and cons, and after some great conversations with the whole Gaelsโ coaching staff, I felt comfortable making my commitment to Queenโs.โ
He added that Head Coach Snyder and the staff welcomed him with open arms and that he felt the family-brotherhood feeling right away.
Before joining the Trinity Pawling Pride, Gonzalez was a member of the Vancouver College Fighting Irish (BCSSFA). He said he joined the Pride โto become a better athlete on the field and in the classroom.โ He is interested in taking economics.
Commited to the University of Queens. Thank you @SteveSnyderQ and everyone who supported me throughout this process. #chagheil pic.twitter.com/K8EkFSdNkf
