Mac has added a potent QB-receiver combo out of Frontenac High in Kingston, with pivot Marshall Ferguson and receiver Ben O'Connor. The two led Frontenac, the same training grounds for former Mac standout QB Adam Archibald, to the 2008 National Capital Bowl, in which Ferguson threw for two TDs, one of which went to O'Connor.
It will be interesting to see if Stefan Ptaszek looks to the young QB early on in 2010, with incumbent Kyle Quinlan posting a solid-if-unspectacular season last year.
The Marauders have also added a rare out-of-province recruit in DB Allan Dicks from W.J. Mouat in Vancouver. Dicks was a two-way player in High School, but will stay on defence and add to the Marauders' considerable young secondary depth, adding to the likes of OUA Rookie of the Year Cody Lynch.
Mac has also added OL Sandy Bissett, RB Jimmy Hill, RB Ryan Kotar, OL Brad Minns, OL Andrew Mizzi, DL Jason Riley, LB Ryan Saunders and DB Steve Ventresca.
Sad to see the local talent leaving kingston. Some of the key components of the gaels success that past couple of years has been the local players.
