Dicroce signed by CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
McMaster Marauders’ star receiver, Michael DiCroce signed with the Canadian Football League’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers on May 24. The Blue Bombers selected DiCroce in the fourth round (29th overall) of the 2013 CFL Draft, as the third of five Marauders chosen on May 6.
The Hamilton native enjoyed a landmark season in 2011, leading the CIS with 48 receptions for 904 yards and six touchdowns en route to recognition as the OUA’s Most Valuable Player and a First-Team All-Canadian. He missed the majority of the 2012 season due to injury, but reentered the lineup in time to help the Marauders reach a second-consecutive Vanier Cup final, totalling 26 catches for 384 yards and three touchdowns in that limited action.
With his signing, DiCroce will now join the Blue Bombers as they welcome their first-year members to a three-day training camp that begins on Wednesday, May 29. Winnipeg’s full training camp will open on Sunday, June 2.
