Nelson High School and University Florida

Canada Minister Sport: Waggoner Canadian roots can be traced back to his late grandfather, Hal, who played running back and defensive back for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for seven seasons starting in 1951, winning a Grey Cup in 1957, according to Hamilton Spectator. His father Scott grew up in Burlington, attended Nelson High School and earned a scholarship to the University of Florida before being drafted by the Ticats in 1982. But it took the combined efforts of his mother, his agent, a TV broadcaster with intimate knowledge of the league Byzantine citizenship rules and Canada Minister of Sport to make it happen. An ankle injury derailed Scott CFL career after just four games and he settled in Sarasota, Fla. with wife Holly — she a native of the sunshine state — with Hal living in nearby Fort Myers. His play drew the attention of the B.C. Lions, who put him on their negotiation list — a method by which CFL teams commonly lock down American players. Garrett was born in 1990 and followed his father and grandfather into football, eventually earning a scholarship to Dartmouth College, where he was all-Ivy League first team as a defensive back in his final two seasons.
