Oakville recruit found right match with Laurier

Oakville offensive lineman recently signs with OUA team.

The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks have announced the commitment of Evan Scott to their football program.

Scott, the 6’4, 296 pound offensive lineman from Oakville, Ontario, comes to the Golden Hawks after completing a stint with Abbey Park Eagles of the Halton Secondary School Athletic Association (HSSAA). Moreover, he has suited up for the Halton Cowboys of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL).

“Evan has a great amount potential with his size and frame,” commented Golden Hawks Head Coach Michael Faulds. “At just 16 years old, he realizes the process and the steps ahead of him.”

“He is a very smart individual, who is entering our Business School.”

For his part, Scott found the perfect gridiron and academic match with the Waterloo, Ontario campus.

“Laurier was a great fit for me academically,” explained Scott of his decision.  “The business program is exciting and they are building great new facilities.”

“Coaches [Dwayne] Cameron and Coach [Joe] Wade organized great campus visits that really showed the direction the program is headed under Coach [Michael] Faulds and the staff. The community was a key; the small school atmosphere felt like home from the beginning. Being a Golden Hawk is the best place for me to excel in the classroom, and on the field.”
