Cobra's Big Man Joins Dinos



Another member of the outstanding program from Cochrane High School has committed to the University of Calgary for 2017 season.

Defensive lineman Dylan Gingrich-Hadley has signed a U Sports Letter of Intent and joins the Dinos after an outstanding career for Cobras under Head Coach Rob McNab.  While playing for the Cobras Dylan was a member of three Provincial 3A Championship teams starting along the defensive line.

Gingrich-Hadley came up through the Cochrane Lions Bantam program that plays in the Calgary Bantam Football League.

The 17-year-old Gingrich-Hadley has excellent size for a young player being 6’4”, 250 lbs. and is an excellent athlete playing competitive lacrosse as well as basketball.

“Calgary is a good football program and has good schooling. It is close to home and a chance to play with my friends,” stated Gingrich-Hadley who plans to enter the Faculty of Kinesiology or Arts. Dylan joins fellow Cobras graduates Zach Rabe and Cane Boklaschuk as members of this year’s Cobras team on the Dinos as well as Justin Sambu who committed earlier.

“Dylan is a very athletic defensive lineman and is an explosive player off the line,” states University of Calgary recruiting coordinator Matt Berry. “He is a good hitter and coming from Cochrane High, he knows how to win,” Berry added.

Dylan was a approached by both UBC and Simon Fraser and is the son of Mark Hadley and Ruth-Ann Gingrich.
