One of the most dangerous weapons for the Regina Thunder over the past four seasons has been receiver Levi Paul.  He concluded his CJFL career following the 2017 season and was named a Prairie Conference All-Star.  He made 41 receptions (tied for the most in the Conference), collected a Conference high 575 yards, averaging 14 yards a catch and scored six touchdowns.

He is part of the CJFL’s Class of 2017:

Why play for Thunder in the first place? – "The choice was pretty easy for me.  The Thunder has a great coaching staff and program and I saw a great opportunity to improve my skills." 

With opportunities elsewhere, why play four seasons of CJFL football? – "Playing junior football allowed me to apprentice in welding in Regina, as well as improve myself on and off the field."

Each player goes through a lot during his CJFL career, how did you grow as a person? – "The Thunder taught me to be accountable on and off the field, which has helped me a lot."

Now that you’ve graduated from the CJFL, what’s the biggest lesson you take away? – "It’s being accountable.  You are going to screw up at some times and you have to accept that and take it head on."

What’s your favourite memory of playing with the Thunder? – "I would have to say just all the time spent with my teammates, whether it be in the locker room or on the bus going to games they were all great times."

What will you miss the most? – "Definitely the team.  You get to see these guys every day for three months and it gets to be a routine.  Playing in the CJFL allowed me to make great friends and all sorts of memories."

What is next for Levi Paul? – "I'm super excited to say that I will be furthering my education and football career at McMaster University this fall."
