Bio
Cheeler Lindor was twice named an OUA All-Star at middle linebacker. He began his five-year career (2003-2007) in Garnet and Grey as a starter on a young team in 2003 and quickly made an impression. The Ottawa product was a team captain starting in 2004 and earned his first all-star nomination in 2005.
A member of the 2006 Yates Cup Champions, Lindor was sidelined with injury midway through that season after setting the tone early, contributing to the nation's stingiest defence known for its hard-hitting linebacking corps. He returned with another all-star calibre season in 2007, recording 35 tackles and two sacks as the Gee-Gees went undefeated in regular season play.
Lindor also showcased his physical, disciplined play on the special teams unit throughout his career, and he memorably returned an interception for a 71-yard touchdown against Queen's in 2005. His leadership and football IQ were pillars of the team's defensive success.
