Ontario recruit hopes to be a SMU factor

Toronto defensive back recently joins AUS team’s 2015 class.

Davian Lynch-Reid will be commencing his CIS career on the Atlantic Coast.

Recently, the Saint Mary’s Huskies announced that the 6’1, 190 pound defensive back from Toronto, Ontario has committed to the football program.Β  Lynch-Reid will join the Huskies for the 2015 AUS season.

β€œWe are extremely happy to add a student athlete like Davian to the SMU football family,” commented Huskies Head Coach Perry Marchese.

Lynch-Reid guided the St. Mary Monarchs to both Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (LOSSAA) and OFSAA Bowl Championships in 2013.Β  Additionally in 2012, the Monarchs also claimed a LOSSAA crown.

The defensive back also suited up for the Oshawa Hawkeyes of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL).

β€œI was looking for a school that was relatively small compared to some of the larger schools that I have visited,” reflected Lynch-Reid of his decision.Β  β€œWhen I had my recruiting trip at St Mary’s last May I felt St. Mary’s was the perfect fit for me.”

Additionally, academics played a significant part in his choice.Β  It didn’t hurt that a couple of former teammates were already in the Huskies football family either.

β€œSt. Mary’s Master’s program in commerce is also a huge reason as to why I would like to attend the school. It is goal I hope to reach in my years as a Huskie,” said Lynch-Reid.Β  β€œAlso, having two close former teammates Clay Matthews-Reid and Kanaar Bell that already attend the school ensured me that I would really enjoy the school as well as the football program.”

Now with the decision made, the defensive standout can focus on the next chapter of his career.

β€œI really hope to be a contributing factor to the Huskies team this coming fall,” added Lynch-Reid.
