In the eighth grade, Graeme Heighway started playing the sport as a tight end and wide receiver in the Kinsman Minor Football League for the Eagles.
When high school came, he joined the junior St. Peter’s Saints as quarterback, where he is also playing this year as a Gr.10.
In the offseason the Saints standout usually spends a lot of time training. He has done a training camp that worked on athletic performance with the bantam Peterborough Wolverines coach Patrick Assinck.
Graeme also does training in his school’s gym and fitness room with his coaches to improve his football and athletic abilities.
For the Ontario Prospect Challenge, Graeme has high ambitions.
“My goals for the Ontario Prospect Challenge (OPC) are to become a better quarterback and to be in the Top 100,” said Graeme. “I want to learn more and improve my throwing mechanics with the help of coaches there, … and play in the game for Team Central.”
He has two role models – Tom Brady or Zach Collaros.
“I think the one I more look up to is Tom Brady as he is seen widely as the most accurate quarterback in the NFL currently, and that’s what I want to be in the future,” commented the Saints standout.
He loves to play the sport because it’s an athletic, hard-hitting sport and nothing feels better than getting a touchdown as a team.
“I love playing it, especially as a quarterback, because everyone works together but you have to get passes off the to right play and although it’s a lot of pressure, the pride you gain after completing a good pass is worth it,” added Graeme.
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
