Kidby Commits to Rams
REGINA, Sask. - The University of Regina Rams announced Tuesday
that
former Riffel Royals running back Taylor Kidby will attend the
U of R
and join the Rams for the 2007 season.
A shifty 5'8", 168 lb. back out of Riffel High School,
Kidby led the
Regina Intercollegiate Football League in touchdowns, rushing
touchdowns, and rushing yards during the 2006 season.
"He'll help us out immediately on both special teams and
at the
tailback position," Rams offensive coordinator Bernie
Schmidt said.
"He's exceptionally quick and has an uncanny ability to
make people
miss."
Kidby led Riffel to the city championship final last season,
totalling
1089 rushing yards on 96 carries for an average of 10.9 yards
per rush.
He was named the Offensive MVP of the RIFL's Schwann Conference
for his
efforts.
Kidby capped off his high school career with a solid showing at
the Ed
Henick Senior Bowl, where he collected a rushing touchdown and
121 yards
on 13 carries, earning South Team MVP honours in the process.
He also
recorded a time of 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the
Senior Bowl.
