Kwame Cavil (born May 3, 1979) is a former gridiron football wide receiver.
College career[edit]
Кавил играл в американский футбол в Техасском университете в Остине с 1997 по 1999 год. В 1999 году он установил школьный рекорд за один сезон, записав 100 приемов. Он был первым игроком, который покинул одну из техасских команд Мака Брауна, сохранив право на учебу в колледже. Кавил был отстранен от участия в команде до игры в чашу в младшем классе за «нарушение командных правил». Характер нарушения не уточняли ни Браун, ни Кавил, ни университет. Неизвестно, был бы Кавил рад вернуться в команду в течение его старшего сезона, если бы он не ушел раньше, но в то время сообщалось, что Браун говорит, что никогда не говорит игрокам, что делать, если они рассматривают возможность участия в драфте НФЛ. early, implying that it was in fact an early departure for the draft. Cavil himself said "After great deliberation with my family, I have decided to forgo my final year of eligibility and go to the NFL," Cavil subsequently went undrafted.[1]
After his professional football career, Cavil returned to the University of Texas to complete his studies, earning his bachelor's degree from the College of Education in the Spring of 2010.[2]
Professional career[edit]
Cavil was a wide receiver for the NFL Buffalo Bills in 2000.
Cavil joined the CFL in 2002, signing his first contract with the Montreal Alouettes. He has since moved around the league,[3] most recently having been traded by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Blue Bombers on Friday, August 18, 2006 for a third round pick in the 2007 CFL Draft. He had been traded from the Edmonton Eskimos to Hamilton in March 2006, and was dealt from Edmonton to Montreal the previous year before returning to the Eskimos. While in Montreal, Cavil was a CFL Eastern All-Star in 2004 with over 1,000 receiving yards. Cavil was part of the precedent-setting 2004 Alouettes team that became the first team in CFL history to have four receivers all reaching the 1000-yard receiving mark all in the same season (Cavil with 1090 yards, Ben Cahoon with 1183 yards, Jeremaine Copeland with 1154 yards, and Thyron Anderson with 1147 yards).
Cavil continued to create a name for himself in Winnipeg, in part because of his unique end zone dances. On February 16, 2007 Cavil became a CFL free agent and later retired from the league.
Cavil now works at Temple High School where he is assistant coach to Temple High School wide receiver core, Track & Field events, and is a teacher of the course MAPS.
