Queen’s welcomes an out-of-province commit to their Class of 2017.
Jacob Butler, a right tackle from Sardis Secondary, will be continuing a family trend after signing with the Queenās University Gaels.
āBoth my parents graduated from Queenās, so itās in the family,ā Butler said, who is from Chilliwack, BC.
But there was more that drew this west coast commit out east. āWhen I visited, Head Coach Pat Sheahan seemed to truly care about his players,ā Butler said. āHe is a great guy.ā
Butler added that although he hasnāt met all of the staff, everyone he talked to āseemed to care about the playersā and thatās important to him. He also said the campus is great.
The towering 6ā5, 285lbs tackle is interested in taking engineering. He spent nine years playing for the Chilliwack Giants (Valley Community Football League) and one with the Langley Stampeders (Vancouver Mainland Football League). In 2016, he was the Alberta-BC Border Bowlās offensive lineman MVP. While with the Stampeders, the undefeated provincial champions, he was also the teamās offensive lineman MVP.
