Monsignor McCoy football program athlete signs with University of Calgary Dinos

Mar 19, 2025 | 5:26 PM

A consequential signing was held at Monsignor McCoy High School on Wednesday.

Colts football player Baker Thompson put pen to paper on a scholarship with the University of Calgary Dinos.

Thompson is one of six athletes from the Colts team — a combination of athletes from McCoy and Eagle Butte high schools — who will be continuing their football careers at the post-secondary level.

This is the first time since 2022 that the Colts football program has produced a university football recruit.

“Baker is an exceptional player, and we’re thrilled to see him take the next step in his football journey with the University of Calgary Dinos,” said a representative from the Colts football program.
