Two athletes from Mount Allison University are in training after being drafted into the Canadian Football League.
The 22-year-old athletes join the league through the Mounties football program.
Sackville-born defensive back Lucas Cormier was drafted in the second round by the Ottawa Redblacks, as the 10th overall pick.
Reece Martin, a defensive lineman, was chosen by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the fourth round as the 31st pick overall.
CHMA reached out to both players and spoke to Cormier this weekend, between practices in Ottawa. Cormier said he always aspired to join the CFL, and he believes the Grey Cup is within sight this year.
