CEGEP linebacker joins OUA team’s 2016 class
Carleton Ravens have announced the addition of Smith Leandre to their football program.
The 6ā1, 220 pound linebacker (outside) from Ottawa, Ontario will join the team for the 2016 OUA season.
This fall, Leandre is completing his final season with CEGEP Division 1 team, Champlain-Lennoxville Cougars. Previous to the Cougars, the linebacker also suited up for Franco Cite Falcons of National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA).
With his addition, the Raven bolsters a couple of key areas of their game. Moreover, Leandre extends a Cougar pipeline with the Ravens organization.
āGetting Smith makes us better in many areas but his pure speed will help us on special teams and on defense,ā commented Ravens Head Coach Steve Sumarah.Ā āHe flies around the field and is a solid tackler.ā
āWe are excited to add another Cougar to our program to follow a long list of great players from that storied program.ā
For his part, proximity and reputation both played significant roles in Leandreās decision.
āI chose the Carleton Ravens because I have seen what theyāre all about,ā elaborated the Ottawa defensive standout.Ā āI always wanted to play in my hometown.ā
āI believe that the Ravens program is going to turn me into a good player. I already have former teammates on the Carleton side I can’t wait to step on the field with them.Ā I committed to Carleton because thereās no place like home.ā
