Jevon Cottoy (born November 21, 1996) is a Canadian professional football wide receiver for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played junior football for the Calgary Colts and Langley Rams.
Cottoy was born in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to parents Valerie and Elroy and has a younger sister, Brianna.[1][2] He moved to Calgary when he was nine years old to live with his father who was working and living there.[3] After playing soccer and cricket in his youth, Cottoy began playing football when he was 13 years old.[2]
Junior career
Cottoy played for the Calgary Colts of the Canadian Junior Football League in 2014 and 2015 where he was named the 2014 Prairie Football Conference's Rookie of the Year.[4] He was offered a scholarship to play for the Calgary Dinos football team for the 2016 season, but he tore his ACL and MCL just before the season and was unable to play.
Cottoy didn't play football for two years and was training in Calgary to become a firefighter.[1] After discussions with friends and family, he reunited with his former coach, Matt Blokker, to play for the Langley Rams in 2018.[1][3] He played in eight games in the 2018 regular season and finished with 39 catches for 657 yards and eight touchdowns.[5] In the playoffs that year, the Rams played in four games, including the championship game, where Cottoy had 25 receptions for 645 yards and eight touchdowns.[5]
