Avon alumni competing at collegiate level

D’Youville University’s Sprint Football squad may want to consider changing its name to Avon West! 

Five of our alumni are competing at the next level for the Saints for their fall 2026 season: Wes Farley (Class of 2025), Emmanuel Calderon-Diaz (Class of 2025), Blayden Borsching (Class of 2026), Aidan Lindstrom (Class of 2026) and Evan Blye (Class of 2026). 

The D’Youville Saints compete in the Division II Collegiate Sprint Football League and are 0-4 on the season, but our former players have been putting in the work and making an impact on the field. 

• Blayden Borsching led the Saints in tackles with 11 and also had an interception during their game against Chestnut Hill this past weekend. 

• In that same game, Wes Farley blocked a field goal and carried the ball 6 times for 14 yards, though his prolific game so far this season came against St. Thomas Aquinas when he rushed 12 times for 31 yards and added five receptions for 10 yards. 

• Evan Blye saw the most action during D’Youville’s game against Cornell at the end of September. Playing on a limited snap count, Blye completed four passes for 60 yards to lead the team in passing. 

The Saints are next in action Monday, Oct. 23 when they’ll travel to Rockville Centre on Long Island to face the Lions of Molloy University.
