Q&A with Regina quarterback Gentry Dumont
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes I would like to play football (QB).”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I was invited to several camps last summer ranging from D2 to Power 5 schools and I also was invited and attended the Princeton camp so I want to make sure I look at some Ivy League options too if my test scores are good enough. Right now I’ve talked to D2, Ivy League, and FCS schools so that’s probably where I’m going to focus my camp schedule around this summer.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I was a little behind in the recruiting game because I missed pretty much my whole Sophomore season with a broken collar bone that happened in our 3rd game of the year. The college coaches will start hitting schools for the class of 24 soon and I’ll have a better idea at that time.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“No.”
Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I’m sure I’ll have some spring visits but those won’t happen usually until colleges get their 23 classes wrapped up.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My dad actually played football for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 1988 to 1992 so I didn’t really have a choice so I grew up a Hawkeye fan. Two of my sisters went to Iowa State so I also follow the Cyclones pretty closely. I really love college football though so if I ever got a chance to play anywhere I like to keep my options pretty open.”
