Edmonton wide receiver recently commits to CWUAA team’s 2014 class
It was a pretty clear cut decision for Kyle Sommerville.
The 5’10, 175 pound wide receiver has opted to begin his CIS career in his home province. Recently, he committed to the University of Alberta Golden Bears for the 2014 CWUAA season.
“I was concerned first and foremost with schooling and with Alberta being one of the best in the country, along with the absolutely amazing guys on the team and the increasing excitement around the upcoming season, it was a no brainer,” explained Sommerville of his decision. “University of Alberta is a program on the rise, and with the recruits they are bringing in, and the guys they have in place, leaders like Ryley Richardson and Tylor Henry, I was accepted with open arms, and it made the decision really easy.”
“Another factor was that I was close to home, as I’m originally from Fort McMurray, and now settled in Edmonton, so it allowed my parents to be there with me every step of the way.”
Sommerville comes to the Golden Bears after playing with the Edmonton Wildcats of the Prairie Football Conference (PFC) in the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL). This past season, he had 75 receiving yards on three catches and 16 special team tackles.
Previous to the Wildcats, the offensive standout led the Father Mercredi Trappers of the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA) to the six-man Provincial Championship in his senior season (2012). Additionally, Sommerville was selected to play for Team Alberta North in the Football Alberta Senior Bowl High School All-Star Game (2012).
Sommerville credits Playmaker U owner and founder Kamau Peterson for playing a significant role in his career.
“Kamau Peterson was another huge factor with my ability to compete at this level, and I’m forever grateful for all his assistance with my offseason training over the past two years,” expressed Sommerville.
