By Bernie Puchalski - May 19, 2021

May 12 turned out to be anything but just another work day for Sandor Mod.

The soon-to-be 22-year-old Welland native was working in Welland with a landscaping crew redoing a backyard when he was interrupted by his phone.

“It just started blowing up with everyone congratulating me and my dad called me and stuff,” he said. “Thank God, it was on lunch but it was great. Everyone around me was saying that it was exciting news.

“I was pretty calm because it was halfway through the day and we were kind of getting tired from moving bricks and cutting sod; all that good stuff.”

The news was that the 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive lineman at Carleton had been selected for the 2021 East-West Bowl roster by U SPORTS and the Canadian Football League. No game will be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rosters include the next generation of top Canadian football prospects and identifies 110 U SPORTS-eligible standouts for the 2022 CFL Draft.
