Omari Gul

An offer already in hand, and a bigger target down the road.

Most athletes at camp are chasing a first offer. Omari already has one. UBC has called, and plenty of players would relax at that point. He describes himself as hardworking, disciplined, diligent, which is roughly the opposite of relaxing, and it is why he walked out of Vancouver as the camp’s top offensive player.

The dream is bigger than the offer. He wants Washington. So the UBC call is not the finish line, it is the proof that the work counts.

“I am very grateful for this award and I hope it reflects all of my hard work.”

Ken Marasigan

The Burnaby arm that out-worked the week.

Quarterback is the hardest job at any camp. Everyone is watching, every rep is graded, and there is nowhere to hide. Ken put himself in three words: competitive, coachable and a leader. That third one is what separates a quarterback from a passer, and it showed up all five days.

He is still chasing his first offer, and he is clear about why it matters. College football is the route to the degree. He has already seen what that world looks like up close: a visit to Texas Tech is still the memory he goes back to.

“After 5 days of work, to be recognized with this award made me very happy and makes me want to work even harder.”

Aydrick Lim

The running back whose best memory happens on defense.

Fourth quarter. ND up 7 to 6. Terry Fox punches one in and decides to go for two, winner takes it. Aydrick gets the blitz call, comes off the edge, and gets there. Ball back. Game over.

That is the memory he picked, and it says something about him: he is the guy you want on the field when the game is being decided, whichever side of the ball that happens to be. He won Defensive MVP in 2024. He won Best Running Back in 2026. He only picked up the sport in Grade 8.

“I didn’t start playing football until my grade 8 year and ever since then I’ve been striving to be the best and be number 1. This is a step for me in that direction.”

Leo Shabbir

Class of 2030, playing up, winning anyway.

Leo was one of the youngest athletes on the field in Vancouver. He beat older kids anyway. Class of 2030, going up against players with years of size and reps on him, and he came away with Receiver MVP.

He has done the underdog thing before. His club went into the NFL Flag Vancouver Championship as the team nobody picked, and won it, with all three of their divisions qualifying for Nationals.

“It was an amazing feeling, especially because all three divisions from our club qualified for Nationals. I was really proud of our team and how hard we worked together.”

“I had to compete against older boys. It pushed me to challenge myself and play at a higher level. Winning the MVP showed me that I can compete with older players.”

Evan Latter

From ten plays a game to the whole game.

Every offensive lineman knows the version of Evan’s story. You are young, you are not the guy yet, and you get your ten plays a game while somebody else finishes it. Some kids accept that. Evan went and changed it.

“I was always a 10 play kid when I was younger, so that first start and me being a difference maker meant the world to me.”

He now describes himself as relentless, dominant and driven, and he spent five days in Vancouver proving all three. Next target: an offer, and a spot at UBC.

“It means that all my hard work I’ve put into the sport I love is working out.”

Will Whelan

Proof that camps compound.

This was not Will’s first RAW camp, and that is the whole point of his award. Disciplined, hardworking, fast is how he describes himself, and a Grade 11 Varsity Conference All-Star nod says the province agrees.

He is graduating in 2027 with his sights on a Canadian university. The MVP is not a one-week hot streak. It is a line on a graph that has been going up for a while.

“It shows how RAW has helped me improve over the span of multiple camps.”
