SMU commit feels right at home with Huskies

Saint Mary’s adds a CJFLer to their team.

Trey Campbell, a running back from Oā€™Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute, is no stranger to travelling for football, and now his journey will take him out east as he gets set to join the Saint Maryā€™s University Huskies.

Currently with the Westshore Rebels (CJFL) in British Columbia, Campbell is originally from Oshawa, Ontario. Now itā€™s time for some east coast flare. ā€œI chose SMU because I loved how the community was so involved with the football team and the alumni was always giving back,ā€ Campbell said.

It doesnā€™t hurt that Campbell knows a few Huskies already. He added that the amount of people he knows on the team and the teamā€™s style of offense appealed to him. ā€œI met with Head Coach Colzie and Coach AJ and I love the direction theyā€™re brining the program,ā€ Campbell said. ā€œI feel like the staff is a good fit for me.ā€

Interested in Criminology, Campbell also said he likes the schoolā€™s small classroom sizes.

The 5ā€™8, 185lbs nine-year veteran played with the Oā€™Neill Redhawks (Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics) in high school. In 2012 and 2013, he was an LOSSA MVP. He has also won a Cullen Cup and was a former OPC all-star.
