Mounties welcome an out-of-province commit and a local commit to their 2019 class.
Gabriel Stevenson, a defensive lineman from Garden City Collegiate, and Jack Estabrooks, a linebacker from Tantramar Regional High School, are ready to earn their places on the Mount Allison Mounties.

āI chose MTA because of the family atmosphere. The coaches and players made me feel like a part of the family. Everyone was so welcoming, and I wanted a chance to come into my freshman year and compete for a starting spot,ā Gabriel Stevenson said.
āI believe in what Head Coach Fraser is building out in Sackville and I think Mount Allison, with the coaches they have out there, are going to start making a push for an AUS championship in the next couple of years for sure,ā he added.
Stevenson is interested in studying either sociology or performing arts. He said that āMTA, in my opinion, was a perfect fit and what I wanted academically and football wise.ā
At a towering 6ā7, 235lbs, Stevenson shores up the defensive line as a defensive end. He has spent four years playing football. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, he was a member of the Garden City Gophers (WHSFL) in high school.
āI want to thank my coaches at Garden City, coaches Wilks, Readman and Bannon, for believing in me and helping me become the player I am today,ā Stevenson said. āI couldnāt have this opportunity without them.ā
We would like to welcome Gabe Stevenson (6ā7ā 240) to the Mount A football family. We are excited to add his size and athleticism to our D Line. Stay tuned for more additions to our 2019 Gold Standard recruiting class! #GoldStandard @FootballNB @FootballNS @chatfootball pic.twitter.com/RctmPZeSyV
