York welcomes an Ontario commit to their Class of 2017.
Quarterback Bryce Covello from St. Ignatius High School will have quite the trek out of the forests of his hometown to the concrete jungle that is Toronto the join his new team, the York University Lions.
βIβve always loved the city of Toronto and being from Thunder Bay, itβs only one plane ride away from home,β Covello said. βThey (York) are a very young, energetic and up-and-coming program with lots of upsides for the future. As well, this 2017 recruiting class has been very impressive and Iβm glad to be apart of it.β
Having a good recruiting class depends largely on the work of the coaches. They couldnβt have been better for Covello. βThe universityβs coaching staff was very welcoming and informative on the university and the program. They have a bright and optimistic look to their future,β he said.
