The University of Calgary football Dinos have recruited their first player
in the history of their program from Yorkton, SK. Fullback Caleb Bymak has informed the school he will
attend the University
of Calgary, and has
signed a Canadian Interuniversity Sport Letter of Intent.
The 6’2”, 215 lbs. Bymak played
both fullback and linebacker for Yorkton Regional High School Raiders the past
three years for Coach Robbie Sharpe.
Caleb was a member of the Saskatchewan team that competed in the Canada Cup tournament
in Quebec in
July 2015 playing both linebacker and defensive end but will be utilized on the
offensive side of the football with the Dinos.
“Caleb is am athletic physical
player who can play on either side of the football. He will be used on offense
and we look forward having him fit in to our system with his physical style of
play,” states University
of Calgary offensive
coordinator Ryan Sheahan.
Caleb came to Calgary for a recruitment visit in early
November 2015 and liked what he saw with the program.
“I liked the professionalism and
atmosphere with the program and felt I was wanted immediately. In addition I
like the offensive scheme they (Calgary) run. I also have family there and know
the city,” states Bymak who will enrol in the Faculty of Kinesiology this
coming fall.
In addition to excelling in
football, Caleb is an outstanding amateur baseball player and was a provincial
bronze medalist in the quadrathon (100 metres, 800 metres, long jump and shot
put). He was a member of Canada’s
team that competed in the Senior Little League World Series in Maine in August 2014 after being added by the Regina team after they
won the Canadian title. He spent this past summer playing for the Parkland
Midget AAA Express. He also played
baseball for Team Saskatchewan attending camps
in both Florida and Arizona.
Caleb visited both the
Universities of Saskatchewan and Regina in
addition to speaking with the University
of Manitoba before deciding on Calgary.
He is the son of Stefan and
Crystal Bymak.
