“Chase is an imposing figure at the wide receiver position,” said Kelly. Ā “He brings the size and athleticism that every team wants.”
“He is also a first class individual who I am excited to work with in the years to come.”
For his part, Claypool is thrilled to be joining the Fighting Irish as he developed a rappport with the football progam.
“Coach Denbrock came down to my school, which meant a lot that he came down all that way to came talk to coaches and teachers,ā recalled the CFC#2 player. Ā “I went down for a camp and got to stay on campus for a few days so it gave me an idea of what it’s like and it felt really good.”
“Then, I bonded with coaches and players over dinner and lunch playing games I watched the guys practice but their GSR was biggest thing for me.ā
Claypool completed a stint with Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers of the British Columbia High School Football Association (BCHSFA).
