WINNIPEG — Giovanni Aprile, a third round draft pick of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last year, is returning to university for his final year of eligibility after being accepted into a one-year teacher’s college program.
Aprile was drafted 16th overall in 2012 and attended training camp last season before returning to Queen’s where he played in seven games, catching 36 passes for 619 yards and three touchdowns.
Bombers general manager Joe Mack wished him well Thursday and said they look forward to seeing him camp next year.
"Our organization fully supports a decision like this when it comes to a young man’s future and preparing for life after football," said Mack.
