Brantford wide receiver joins OUA team’s 2015 class.
CanadaFootballChat.com paved the way for Jiere Dillon’s introduction to his future CIS home.
Recently, the 6’4, 195 pound wide receiver from Brantford, Ontario committed to Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Dillon will join the team for the 2015 OUA season.
Last spring, Dillon participated in the Ontario Prospect Challenge (OPC) as a member of Team West and that is where his relationship with the Golden Hawks began.
“I first got in touch with them through the OPC, where Coach [Joe] Wade was my Receivers Coach,” recalled Dillon. “After that, it was talking back and forth between Coach Wade, Coach [Dwayne] Cameron and myself.”
“I went on my visit and a few weeks after that made my decision.”
Ultimately, there were a few things Golden Hawks program that appealed to the offensive standout.
“I decided mainly on Laurier because of all of the recruiting visits I had taken,” explained Dillon. “Laurier’s campus gave me the best feeling and this is where I could see myself spending the next four years.”
“The coaching staff made me feel welcome and comfortable, just like family.”
Among the teams Dillon has previously suited up for include BCI Mustangs of the Brant County Secondary School Athletic Association (BCSSAA) and Brantford Bisons of the Ontario Football Conference (OPC).
