Toronto's Best at St. FX

The following four are playing at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. They entered their rookie year this past season, but to my knowledge, have yet to play a game. Look for them to make a jump at starting positions next year.

Justin Sousa
Justin Sousa

Justin has been playing football for seven years for Michael Power, St. Joseph, and the Etobicoke Eagles. His goal is to dress at some point in his first season while progressing towards his academic goals. He won his high school’s defensive MVP award as well as the Team Spirit award. Justin was named as the most improved player of the Etobicoke Eagles in 2004.


Christian Oberegger

Oberegger is one of the top offensive line recruits to come out of Ontario this year. He played both centre and fullback positions for the Mississauga Warriors of the OVFL. He led the team to the 2004 championship and was named captain for their 2005 season. His goals include playing as a freshman for the X-Men, winning the Vanier Cup and graduating with a Degree in Human Kinetics.


Colin Gray

Colin recently finished his last year in high school. He was named as MVP and defensive captain for Upper Canada College’s number 3 ranked team while starting at Running Back and Middle Linebacker. As a senior, he scored 9 touchdowns while averaging 11.2 yards a carry. Having a reputation as a punishing hitter, he set school records for tackles in a game and tackles in a season. After last season, Colin was named as an All-Toronto Linebacker and listed as one of the top safety prospects in Ontario by Weir’s Football magazine. Colin also played five seasons for the Etobicoke Eagles, winning defensive MVP on the 2004 provincial Bantam Championship team.


Carlo Onorati

Carlo attended SMC in Toronto where he was captain of the defense. He helped lead the Kerry Blues to a 32 - 1 high school football record over the past three years. He won a junior and senior Toronto Metro Bowl Provincial Championship and was named SMC’s Outstanding Graduating Student-Athlete this year. Playing for the Toronto Wildcats, of the OVFL, he set the sack record in 2003 and won the Hammer Award, given to the team’s the best defensive player.

St. Francis lost the AUFC final recently to the Acadia Axemen by a score of 69-6
