TYLER VARGA:

Cambridge Lions own Tyler Varga was named the Under 18 Football Canada Cup Most Valuable Offensive Player from the tournament that ended recently in Wolfville, N.S.

Immediately following the Canada Cup Tyler Varga was off to Oklahoma for the NUC, (National Under Classmen) Ultimate 100 Camp. This camp brings together the Top 15 recruits for each positional group across North America.

With all his individual success, when asked his favourite football memory, “winning my only championship in grade ten at Cameron Heights Collegiate.”

As good as he is on the field; he is just as strong in the classroom with a 90% average. According to Tyler, he sees “football as a bonus, it is school that is going to take me places”. He is interested in medicine and becoming a doctor once his playing days are done.

He credits both his parents for all his success both on and off the field and I “look to my dad as my mentor and role model”. All the Canadian universities have shown an interest in Tyler (which is not surprising) along with the following NCAA schools; Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, Indiana, Buffalo, Michigan, Akron. He credits Simon Lazanja, over the last couple of months for getting the NCAA schools to startshowing an interest in his abilities.

Following his performance at the Canada Cup and the NUC camp more offers are expected to roll in from the NCAA and Canadian Universities.
