Grand design of SMU brings Ontario commit to Huskies

The Huskies add an out-of-province commit to their Class of 2017.

After much deliberation, Cody Holmes, a wide receiver from W.F. Herman Secondary School, decided his future lies in the east, more specifically, with the Saint Maryā€™s University Huskies.

While there are many perks to living on the east coast, the one that caught Holmesā€™ eye was more architectural. ā€œI chose SMU because I like the campus. Itā€™s connected. The whole campus is one large building,ā€ he said.

Holmes, who is from Windsor, Ontario, said he was also impressed with the resume of the head coach, James Colzie III. He added that, ā€œThe coaching staff at SMU is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the game. They have a lot to offer me as a player trying to play at the highest level possible.ā€

Standing at 5ā€™10, 180lbs, the potential business student played with the W.F. Herman Griffins (Winsor Essex County Secondary School Athletic Association). The former MVP is a five-time WECSSAA champion, a three-time South Western Secondary School Athletic Association champion and a three-time OFSAA champion. He has also played BGB 7v7 football where he won two Michigan State championships.

Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
