Football recruiting update
There will be a large crop of new faces reporting to Gee-Gees Field in August when the football team opens camp later this summer. Over fifty letters of intent have been received by head coach Jamie Barresi in the off-season, making up one of the largest recruiting classes in the OUA.
The group includes 24 defensive players, 27 players at offensive positions, and a pair of kickers. Of the group, many hail from the Ottawa-Gatineau region and thirteen have CEGEP experience.
The 2014 OUA regular season kicks off on Labour Day Monday when the Gee-Gees will host the York Lions. The following players have committed to join the Gee-Gees football program in 2014:
