CHICAGO - Saint Xavier University former standout quarterback Jimmy Coy (Park Ridge, Ill./Valdosta State/El Camino College/Maine South) was featured in a recent blog regarding the Chicago Bears' upcoming three-day rookie mini-camp, which begins on Friday, May 10.  Coy was the 2012 NAIA Football Player of the Year after leading the Cougars to the semifinals of the 2012 NAIA Football Championship Series with 3,427 passing yards and 35 touchdowns.  He caught the eye of NFL scouts after his impressive workout at Northwestern University's pro day in early March.

CHICAGO – As usual, it has been a pretty busy spring for the Saint Xavier University football team.  In addition to their typical schedule of offseason workouts and practice sessions, the Cougars have also found the time to help out around the south suburbs of Chicago.  Last Wednesday, SXU held a football training camp for children at The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Chicago.  On Saturday, the Cougars spent the day cleaning up at Mount Greenwood Park near the Chicago campus.  The football team has a busy week ahead wrapping up its spring practice sessions and hosting its annual spring scrimmage on Friday, April 26, at 4:30 p.m. at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field in Chicago.  The scrimmage is free to the public and there will also be a "Split the Pot" raffle held during the event.    

CHICAGO – Extending a pipeline that has produced some high level talent for the Saint Xavier University football program over the years, head coach Mike Feminis was thrilled with the recent signings of linebacker Tyler Sharp and defensive back Matt Johnson out of Rockford Boylan Catholic High School in Rockford, Ill.  Sharp brings a 6-1, 200-pound frame and hails from Caledonia, Ill.  Johnson is a Rockford native who comes in at 5-11 and 165 pounds.  Both played for John Cacciatore as seniors at Rockford Boylan Catholic High School.
