NEW BOSSE IN TOWN:

John Bosse really enjoys his mother’s cooking. The University of Calgary Dinos are thankful he does.

“I like my mother’s cooking and wanted to stay home,” stated the 6’6”, 280 lbs. defensive lineman in making the decision to remain in Calgary and sign a U Sports Letter of Intent committing to the Dinos for the 2018 season.

An excellent athlete, John plays both ways along the offensive and defensive lines for the Lester Pearson Patriots coached by Morgan Fraser. Once football season is over, John starts on the Patriots senior basketball team.

John was an all-star in the Calgary Midget Football League in 2016 but missed the 2017 midget season due to a knee injury. He is a product of the Broncos minor football program having played bantam as well midget in their organization.

While at Pearson he was his team’s Offensive Lineman of the Year in football and Most Improved Player on the basketball team. John was a league all-star in 2016 as a Grade 11 in the Calgary High School Division III league.

“Calgary’s team feels like home to me. I feel like I am connected to this team as Chinzy (current defensive lineman and Pearson alum Emmaneul Tasie) is here,” Bosse stated.

Bosse is familiar with the Dinos having attended their youth camps and watched practices when time permitted.

John was born in Florida, moved Ontario in 2007 and two years later moved to Calgary.

He is the son of Ismene Bosse and hopes to study Geography or Earth Sciences.

“John Bosse is a big strong athletic lineman. He is a great team player and has been a leader on each team he has played for. He works very hard and has an extremely high level of potential,” states Dinos Head Coach Wayne Harris.
