Five members of the McMaster Marauders football team were selected by CFL teams in Monday’s draft of Canadian players.
Offensive lineman Matt Sewell, defensive lineman Ben D’Aguilar, receivers Michael DiCroce and Spencer Moore, and defensive back Michael Daly were all picked in the draft.
The players were chosen as follows:
Sewell: 8th overall by the Toronto Argonauts
D’Aguilar: 13th overall by the Calgary Stampeders
DiCroce: 29th overall by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Moore: 44th overall by the Saskatchewan Roughriders
Daly: 45th overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats
DiCroce, a Canadian Interuniversity Sport All-Canadian, could not contain his enthusiasm at being picked by Winnipeg.
“I’m beyond excited,” said the receiver. “I’m just so happy they decided to give me an opportunity and I can’t wait to get out there and show what I can do.”
Late last month, Sewell signed as a free agent with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, and D’Aguilar was invited to try out with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
