CRESECENT QB TO BECOME RECEIVER AS A DINO:

The University of Calgary Dinos football coaches realize Paul Garcha is an outstanding athlete despite not having played football until Grade 10. They are glad he picked up the sport when he did.

The Dinos confirmed the signing of Garcha to a U Sports Letter of Intent to play for the Dinos in 2018.

A quarterback at Crescent Heights High School in Calgary, the 6’3”, 180 lbs. Garcha is a product of the Calgary Broncos Midget team where he was their team MVP. He also is a product of the Dinos summer football camps where he was noticed by the coaching staff.  

The 17-year-old Garcha will be used at receiver with the Dinos and the coaches are confident he can make the transition. In addition to playing football Paul played basketball and competed in track while at Crescent Heights.

Garcha played his High School football for former Dinos linebacker Zach McNeill who played for the Dinos for two seasons, and was coached in High School by Jeff Rondeau.

“Paul is a great competitor and leader. He has good size and very good athleticism,” states recruiting Coordinator Matt Berry.

A honor roll student, Paul is undecided on what he plans to take academically.

“This (Calgary) is where I want to be. I really like the coaching and staff with the Dinos,” stated Garcha.

He is the son of Sukh Garcha.
