Ravens add one local commit and two out-of-province commits to their 2019 class.
After signing with the Carleton Ravens, Michael Lightbody, a defensive lineman from Arnprior District High School, is exactly where he wants to be.
Running back CFC100Β David Lezama from Harry Ainlay High School and wide receiver Jack Halvorson from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute will also be joining the Ravens.
Michael Lightbody
Michael Lightbody wonβt be too far away from his family after signing with the Ravens. A resident of Arnprior, Ontario, he said, βI liked that they were close to home for me. They have great facilities and a nice campus. The players I met there were all nice and they have great academic support.β
Lightbody, who is interested in sociology, added that, βThe coaches all seemed like great guys. Iβm excited to be coached by them for the next four to five years.β
The 6β3″, 340lbs defensive tackle has seen his fair share of teams. He played with the Ottawa Myers Riders (NCAFA/OPFL) for three years. He spent another six with the West Carleton Wolverines (NCAFA) and four with the Arnprior High School Rapids (RCHSFL). He won lineman of the year four times with Arnprior, three with West Carleton and one with the Riders. When he isnβt playing football, he can be found on the basketball court, working out or focusing on his studies.
