The 5'7, 150-pound slot receiver is as nimble and shifty as they come. Last year's first team All Ontario receiver has a high hopes for this year and you can bet he's going to be the focus of every Defensive Coordinators game plan when they go up against the perennial A.N. Myer out of Niagara Falls. Goforth will be expected to carry a big load for the star studded roster as they look to make their way back to the Provincial Championships. If they are to be there come seasons end, you can be sure Goforth is going to have a similar regular season stat line to last year that saw him haul in 47 receptions for 1002 all purpose yards, tallying 17 TD's.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Noah Walters","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"A.N.

Myer, another player you're going to hear lots about is new Myer QB Noah Walters. Walters is a pure athlete with a legit arm, he's the type of QB's that keeps coordinators honest. With an innate ability to make defenders miss, Walters will be expected to not only put the ball in Goforth's hands a lot this season, but he will be expected to provide a lot of offensive production of his own. Standing in at about 6'0, 170-pounds Walters has some similarities to former A.N. Myer legend and current CFL Edmonton Elks QB Tre Ford. Although, Ford had track level speed during his time at Myer, Walters is the type of player you also don't want to allow on the perimeter or you can be sure he'll get loose for 6.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Thomas Vaillancourt","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Notre Dame Welland","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"Niagara Spears","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Arguably the most talked about player within the Niagara region this season is going to be the 6'8, 300-pound Thomas Vaillancourt. The monstrous offensive tackle will be suiting up for Notre Dame Welland this season coming off a solid summer season with the Niagara Spears. Vaillancourt is a true tackle who posseses great size and a natural first kick step. Notre Dame Welland will be looking to try to find their way back to the Niagara region Championships this season, and that path will be led and followed behind the big tackle. Vaillancourt is expected to draw some attention to the region this season as many University scouts have already put this highly touted prospect as a must watch on their calendar for the year. Regardless the smooth big man will be one to watch this season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Peyton Stegner","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Notre Dame Welland","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Niagara Spears","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Once again staying right with the same powerhouse program, Notre Dame Welland is also home to fellow nasty offensive tackle Peyton Stegner. Stegner is definitely one of the more violent tackles in the province and plays the game with an edge. The 6'4, 280-pounder can move and will be anchoring the other side of the Notre Dame line. Likely the biggest offensive line in the region, Stegner will also be expected to help carve out the pathway to a Niagara region Championship. Stegner definitely possesses one of the higher motors you will see among tackles in Canada. I'd like to see him get more active with his hips this season but I won't be surprised to see him lead the Niagara region in pancakes this season. His ability to turn defenders to their off footing is beyond impressive. One thing will be for sure this season, the Notre Dame Welland offensive line will be a sight to see and you can bet Stegner will be one many University scouts have on their radar.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65031fd41fdf1"} /-->
