Rams looking to impress Alberta recruit
By Greg Urbanoski
The University of Regina Rams are
doing their part to reverse the population drain to Alberta.
The Rams hosted Brenden Bennett,
17, a 61, 269 lb offensive and defensive lineman who played
with Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks and is looking
to graduate in June.
Bennett played centre on the O-line
and some defensive tackle, but primarily played the O-Line.
Bennett is looking to further his football career and put
together some highlight film and heard from the University of
British Columbia, University of Calgary and the University of
Regina Rams.
I got a call from Coach McCrystal
to come out and visit and so far its been pretty good, said
Bennett.
I toured the Rams facility and
its pretty impressive. I also did some physical testing out
here so they could see what I can do.
Bennett would probably concentrate
on playing offensive line and if he decides to choose the Rams,
would likely red-shirt while he picked up the skills to compete
at the university level.
I talked to the coaches about what
sort of things I would be doing if I was here and I really like
the facilities and opportunities here, said Bennett
I just talked to UBC but I went
out to the U of C to take a look around. The U of R is close to
my home and it is not as big and it is easier to get around
than the U of C. So far the U of R is looking better in terms
of their team philosophy.
Bennett has
set himself a quick deadline to make a decision before he
graduates high school. If he chooses the University of Regina,
he wants to take classes towards a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor
of Sciences degree.
