Sebastian Scott
When Sebastian Scott attends Saint Maryβs, it will be a reunion. βI chose SMU because of the home feel out there,β Scott said. βHaving my two brothers in Halifax was a big part as I was going to be 18 hours or so away from home, so itβs nice to have family out there.
He added that, βHead Coach Colzie and Coach Tufford seem like great coaches. I know they have a lot of experience and Iβm excited to learn more about the game from both of them.β
Scott, who is 6β5, 220lbs, spent five years with the Huron Heights Warriors (YRAA) and eight with the York Simcoe Bucs (OVFL). He was a 2017 offensive team MVP and a YRAA all-star. In 2018, he was an offensive MVP and an OFSAA Bowl game MVP.
βHuron Heights was a big driving force for progressing me into a better player and man,β Scott said. βIβm thankful for everything the coaches, alumni and players have done for me.β
William Paisley
William Paisley admitted that he was never was highly recruited. βBeing a receiver on a triple-option based team was difficult but I did manage,β he said. βIβd talk to some coaches here and there, but nothing was official.β
Paisley, who is 6β0, 165lbs, said, βI chose Saint Maryβs because I felt like that was the place to be. I was definitely influenced by my family having my cousins already out there, quarterback Kaleb Scott and wide receiver Mackenzie Scott.β

Max Melanson
For Max Melanson, it was all about school. He said he chose Saint Maryβs because of its business program. βI really liked the area it is in,β he added. βI really like the coaching staff there. They are really friendly and easy to approach.β
Melanson spent three seasons with the Harrison Trimble Trojans (NBIAA). The 6β1, 185lbs product of Moncton, New Brunswick was a NBIAA all-star fullback in 2018.
βI am looking forward to spending my next five years at the university of Saint Maryβs,β he said. βI believe it will be an experience of a lifetime because I have always dreamed to make it to a Division 1 university and play football ever since I started playing this great sport.β
