The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees football program is proud to announce that receiver Vincent Campbell has committed to play for the University of Ottawa next season.
The 5-11, 200 pound receiver played three seasons with the Cégep de l’Outaouais Griffons and recently received his first RSEQ all-star nomination, after dominating the RSEQ in touchdowns, total receptions, and receiving yards.
Gee-Gees head coach Jean-Philippe Asselin is happy to welcome Campbell to the team and is convinced that the speedy receiver will succeed in growing towards his potential. “He is a dedicated young man who works and trains very hard. He is focused in his studies and continually looks to further his development” explained Asselin.
Campbell is very enthusiastic about the idea of joining the Gee-Gees line-up, but notes: “In my first season, I simply want to do my best, train hard, and learn.”
The recruit from Lachute, Qué., will not be arriving on unfamiliar territory, as he will be welcomed by his older brother, Julien Campbell, who wore the Gee-Gees’ colours last season, despite suffering a knee injury that would prevent him from playing.
“My brother’s presence on the team is what motivated me to enroll at the University of Ottawa. We have always wanted to play on the same team, but it was impossible because he is older than me. So this will be a good opportunity to play together,” noted the future Human Kinetics student.
