WOODSTOCK — Kameron Janice made it official Feb. 7.
The Woodstock Academy senior announced that he planned to attend UMass-Dartmouth and play football for the Division III Corsairs.
“It’s a Tier 1 academic school. The football is really good there as well and that is one of the main reasons why I’m going. I’m really excited for the next chapter of my life. I know they’re going to help me have success and I want to achieve it,” Janice said.
Janice chose UMass-Dartmouth because the coaching staff was willing to continue to let him be the running back that he wants to be.
The 6-foot, 1-inch, 225-pound Janice had been courted by several programs who wanted him as a linebacker. The Corsairs told him that he was on the top of their running back chart. “That’s the plan and, hopefully, I can break some school records like I did here,” Janice said.
In his senior year, Janice rushed for 2,270 yards in 216 carries including a record-shattering 529-yard, eight-touchdown effort against Quinebaug Valley. He finished with 29 touchdowns rushing and one receiving. “It’s a good day,” said Woodstock Academy coach Sean Saucier. “It’s a well-deserved honor for Kam. I think he found a good home in UMass-Dartmouth. They clearly want him and that’s one of the things I always tell kids, you want to go where you are wanted. It seems like a great fit. At the end of the day, Kam is happy.”
Janice said the football program was the big attraction for him to the school, right down to the school colors which resemble that of the Centaurs. He said he went on his official visit and “it felt like home.”
“The past month and a half has been really stressful. I’ve gone to all of these colleges and on these visits and this really takes the weight off my shoulders and I can look forward to finishing up my senior year and moving on to the next chapter of my life,” Janice said.
