LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Long before he was the Canadian Football League's top offensive line draft prospect, Sage Doxtater was a class clown.
A lanky and big-bodied tenth grader at Canada Prep Academy in St. Catharines, Ontario, he was known as the jokester. His sense of humor made him stand out among his classmates at the all-boys boarding school.
Doxtater was still fairly new to football at that point. Coming from Onieda Nation, formally known as Oneida 41, in southwestern Ontario, he wasn't exposed to the game at an early age.
