Montreal Gazette: Ex-Als coach Hawkins instrumental in Stamps QB Jake Maier coming to CFL

"...“He (Hawkins) is a huge reason why I became invested in the CFL,” the loquacious Maier said on Thursday. “One of the first things he told me was ‘I think you can make a really great CFL quarterback.’ I was flattered. He’s a huge reason why I became so interested in being a CFL quarterback.” "

"...The 6-foot, 212-pound Maier will be replacing veteran Bo Levi Mitchell in his first career pro start. Mitchell has been placed on the six-game injured list with a fractured fibula sustained in the season-opener against Toronto, although the two-time league most outstanding player didn’t miss a down through two games."

Some fans are a little bent that Jake apparently leapfrogged a Canadian QB (#2). And Canada has a Canadian starter Quota (7 Canadian starters?)?

The Montreal paper had a nice little article about Jake and his time with Hawkins here at Davis

All of those articles about Jake are great. They really highlight his confidence and work ethic. He was certainly one of the all-time, great Aggie QB's and that's a pretty elite club. I hope he has continued success!
