University of Calgary Dinos would
like to announce the signing of defensive back Josh Quarles to a Canadian
Interuniversity Sport Letter of Intent.
Quarles, who attended Henry Wisewood
High School in Calgary played defensive halfback for Cody
Ehrmann for the Warriors. He graduated from Grade 12 in 2015 but elected to
take a year of off school to focus on academics and will enrol at the University of Calgary in 2016 but is undecided what
academic path he will pursue.
“Josh is a very athletic and
smart football player. He is also very physical and is reminiscent of current
CanWest Defensive Player of the Year in Robbie Woodson,” states recruiting
coordinator Matt Berry. Quarles will play halfback with the Dinos and with his
outstanding athleticism can be used on special teams.
Last year the 5’10”, 185lbs.
Quarles was ranked in the Canada Football Chat Top 100. He was a member of the
Alberta U18 team at the Canada Cup and a member of Team Canada at the
International Bowl in Texas in January 2015. In 2013 Josh was a Calgary Midget
Football all-star while playing for the Bulldogs.
An outstanding athlete, Josh
excelled in track and field before concentrating on football. He was ranked third
in Canada
in the hurdles when he was in Grade 9.
“Calgary has a really good program overall. I
wanted to stay at home and liked the support the coaching staff provided me,”
Quarles stated. Quarles was contacted by Alberta,
UBC, and York
pursued Josh but he declined to make any visits.
Quarles is familiar with the
Dinos and has assisted in filming practices this year when time has permitted.
Josh is the son of Sherrie Bosch
and former Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bernard Quarles who played for the
Stamps for two years, 1983-84. Quarles played with current University of
Calgary coach Greg Vavra with the Stampeders.
