Drue Moore, a top linebacker from Paul Dwyer Catholic High School and the Oshawa Hawkeyes of the OVFL, leads a long list of accomplished football players who have committed to the Concordia Stingers.
Moore enjoyed a lot of success in 2014. His high school made it to the final in the OFSAA Bowl Festival Series last month, but lost a tough one 35-28 to Lucas Secondary School. Moore, a team captain, led all tacklers in the championship game with eight.
With the Hawkeyes last summer, he led the OVFL in tackles. The six-foot-two, 220-pound middle linebacker had 28 solos, 46 assists and 152 defensive points in eight games.
“He has good size,” says Stingers assistant head coach Pat Donovan. “He’s a hard worker. He has a motor and he really flies around. We’re very pleased to have him with us.”
Four all-stars from the Quebec CEGEP system have signed CIS Letters of Intent, including John Abbott College receiver Skylar Bayliff and teammate John Oda-Gallagher, an athletic defensive end; Vincent Séguin, a defensive back from Cégep de Lanaudière and Cégep de St. Jérôme running back Alexandre Bouvrette, the MVP offence at the Division 3 level.
