Lloydminster's Keiler Cherry has made a habit of seizing onto the opportunities given to him.
Cherry, 24, used this attitude to forge a four-year career with the Canadian Junior Football League's Saskatoon Hilltops before taking up the challenge of becoming an all-star left tackle and offensive line leader with the U Sports Acadia University Axemen. His next task is to ace the Canadian Football League draft combine this spring on way to cracking a professional roster.
"I'll be in the draft in mid-May and there were a few different scouts looking this year, but you don't really get to hear a whole bunch about (which teams are interested)," said Cherry. "You just got to put in the work, be ready to go and know your game on that day."
