Henoc Muamba Takes it to the Next Level
March 11, 2011
Ever since Henoc Muamba played his last down in the Blue and White, his stock has been on the rise. This comes to no surprise to those who have followed the standout Linebacker for his 4 stellar years at StFX. In 2008, just his 2nd year in the league, Henoc was named the AUS Defensive MVP and a 2nd Team All-Canadian. He built on this success the following season being named a 1st Team All-Canadian. Finally, in Muamba’s 4th year, he tapped off his record setting StFX career with a long list of personal accomplishments, including becoming the school’s All-Time leading tackler, a large feat considering all of the great Linebackers who came before him.
The accolades and accomplishments, however, didn’t stop there. Following Muamba’s final season he was once again, for the third time in a row, invited to the All-Canadian ceremonies. This time, however, he came away with the big prize, being awarded the President’s Trophy which goes to the top Defensive Player in the entire Country.

With Muamba’s CIS career in the books, he is now looking to make a move to the next level. Henoc has been continually ranked among the top prospects for the upcoming CFL Draft, sitting at the #10 spot on a list compiled by the CFL Scouting Bureau. He moved up the charts, however, with his recent performance at the CFL E-Camp, the national Combine for Draft eligible players. Henoc put up some impressive numbers during the strength and speed tests, and finished in the top 5 in the Bench Press, the Shuttle, and the Pro Agility tests. He also turned many heads once the pads were put on and players were pitted against each other in 1 on 1 Drills. Another big part of the E-Camp is the personal interview period, and the way players generally conduct themselves throughout the weekend. Henoc once again impressed in this area, as he has grown into a mature and well spoken young man. Here are some links regarding Henoc’s performance at the E-Camp:

To say the sky is the limit for this young man is an understatement. The work ethic that he developed during his time at StFX, coupled with his natural gifts and athleticism, will surely equate to a long professional football career. Everyone at StFX is excited to watch this player continue to grow, and we are confident that he will represent our school well in all his future endeavors.
