āI chose UBC for a number of reasons, including its high academic standards, as well as its beautiful campus,ā Dorocicz said, who is originally from Vancouver, BC. āIt will be great to return and play for my hometown.ā
Dorocicz has only been playing football for two years in his current city of Calgary, Alberta. Now, the 6ā3, 240lbs defensive end will be under the tutelage of Head Coach Blake Nill. āHe was a tremendous factor in my decision-making process,ā Dorocicz said. āIāve heard so many amazing things about his coaching style from past players and I cannot wait to begin playing for him.ā
In his young career, the Ernest Manning Griffin (Calgary High School Athletics Association) has represented Team Alberta U18 and the Calgary Wildcats (Calgary Area Midget Football Association). In 2017, he was a Calgary Division 1 all-star and a CAMFA all-star. He was also a CAMFA all-star in 2016.
