"Eric Ware is somebody we’re going to keep an eye on," Eskimos general manager Danny Maciocia said of the recruit.
"He’s a sub-4.4-second guy and he’s electric when he carries the ball. Yes, he’s undersized, but you’ll see it in camp, he is put together," added Maciocia.
"He’s a strong physical kid who, pound for pound, can compete. When he has the rock in his hands, he tends to do something exciting." The new GM wasn’t kidding. Ware was one of several receivers to show flashes of brilliance during the first day of Eskimos rookie camp, and he’s confident.

April also played basketball and softball at Y-S.
