A Chatham football player is getting another chance to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL).<\/p>\n
Ethan Jordan has resigned with the Ottawa Redblacks, nearly five months after being released by the team.<\/p>\n
He told CK News Today that he still has to earn a spot on the team.<\/p>\n
“It’s basically like getting drafted again. I get a chance to go back to camp and prove myself,” explained Jordan.<\/p>\n
He’s coming off a historic season with the Laurier Golden Hawks in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA).<\/p>\n
He made 68 catches for 1,066 yards as a wide receiver in just eight games, which led to him winning the Larry Haylor Award<\/a> as the OUA’s MVP and the Hec Crighton Trophy<\/a> as the Most Outstanding Player in U Sports. Jordan also set several OUA and Golden Hawks records<\/a>.<\/p>\n “From an individual standpoint, I’m very happy with my season,” he said.<\/p>\n Jordan wouldn’t say the entire season was a success, since the Golden Hawks didn’t win the Yates Cup or the Vanier Cup.<\/p>\n Despite the lack of team success, he was still able to achieve one of the goals he set for himself at the start of the season by earning a callback from the Redblacks.<\/p>\n “My goal was to rejoin Ottawa. They drafted me, they invested in me, and I know they want me there,” explained Jordan.<\/p>\n The plan for Jordan over the winter months is to keep active and get as much practice as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Chatham football player is getting another chance to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
