Comprised of 21 student-athletes, the class includes players from Almonte, Barrie, Burlington, Cambridge, Chatham, Hamilton, London, Oakville, St. Catharines, Stoney Creek, Thornhill, Toronto, Beaconsfield, QC – via Upper Canada College in Toronto and Nassau, Bahamas – via Ridley College in St. Catharines.

The McMaster recruiting class includes seven receivers, five linebackers and five running backs (including two full backs), three defensive backs and one defensive lineman.

“We improved our depth at receiver, linebacker and running back, three areas identified by our coaching staff for improvement,” said head coach Marcello Campanaro on his first recruiting class with McMaster. “We were also successful in recruiting a very athletic group of kids with a lot of character who are excited about coming to McMaster and competing for a position in the fall.”

The four-time defending Ontario Yates Cup champions will begin fall training camp on August 25.
