One of the top graduating High
School players in Calgary will remain in town for his post-secondary football
career.
Versatile Ted Kubongo, a graduate
of the Notre Dame Pride, that were Calgary and Provincial 4A Finalists in 2015,
has signed a Canadian Inter university Sport Letter of Intent to attend the
University of Calgary this coming fall. Kubongo was a starting member on the
Pride’s Calgary and Provincial 4A Championship team in 2014. He played both ways in his senior year for
Coach Dave Duluzio’s team earning Notre Dame’s Most Valuable Player and being
named Calgary High School all-star this past year. He
was an all-star in the Calgary Midget football league playing for the
Hilltoppers organization.
The 6’, 185 lbs Kabongo played
running back for the Pride this past year, but will move the across the line
and play defensive back for the Dinos.
“Ted has great athleticism and is
a physical player that likes to hit,” states University of Calgary Head Coach
Wayne Harris, who also stated Kubongo “was one of the best High School players
in Calgary in 2015.”
Kubongo brings an impressive list
of achievements during his High School career. He was a member of Team Canada
International U19 team that participated in the International Bowl in Texas this past January.
This coming July, he will join fellow University of Calgary recruit, Kelton
Bailey as one of the two Calgary
graduating High School seniors that will participate in the Montana East West High
School Shrine game in July in Butte, Montana. Kubongo also has been selected to
play for Canada at the World U19 Championships in China later this summer. He
was also named a CFC Top 100 player in 2015.
“I chose to play at Calgary
because it is close to home where my family is and the U of C has a great
program,” stated Kubongo who was recruited by numerous Canadian universities
including Saskatchewan, UBC, Carleton, Manitoba and York.
Kubongo will join High School
teammate, offensive lineman Daniel Townsend on the Dinos and plans on studying
Economics.
