Today we look at the running
backs of the Calgary Dinos. The unit coached by Ray Salverda features the
return of Hec Crighton Finalist Mercer Timmis. Timmis had an amazing sophomore
season taking over as the feature back with the graduation of Steven Lumbala to
the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes. Along the way Mercer set numerous school and
conference records in 2013.
Cuong Thai Lieu was a valuable
change of pace back for the Dinos in 2013 his graduation creates a void at the
number two spot and opens the door for either Quentin Chown or Bryce Harper to
win the job. Chown showed his potential
last year on special teams and when given the chance to carry the ball was
extremely effective. Harper has worked hard the last three years running scout
team, has a great attitude and is ready for the challenge of increased playing
time. Also in the mix at running back will be St. Francis grad Jansher Hundal,
who has had a great off season and is taking his game to another level. Imoreshi
Dania from Bishop O’Byrne High School, of Calgary is an outstanding freshman
prospect. Rounding out the group will be former Notre Dame Pride and Calgary
Colts tailback Jason Loo.
Senior Mac Sarro returns as the
leading candidate at H-Back. Sarro was a 7th round draft selection
of the Montreal Alouettes, after attending Aloutettes Training Camp he returns
for his final season as a Dino. Mac is not only is a key offensive weapon but
is one of the top special teams players in the conference. Anthony Anderson and
Jordan Gabriel-Cannon are expected to push Sarro for time at H-Back this season
and both will be key contributors on special teams.
