Drew William Wolitarsky (born March 22, 1995) is a professional Canadian football wide receiver for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[1] Wolitarksy's father spent time in Montreal where he met his son's mother.[2] Due to his mother's Canadian citizenship, Wolitarsky pursued his own citizenship for Canada, becoming one shortly before the 2017 CFL draft.[2] Following his time with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Wolitarsky failed to get drafted or any offers from the NFL. His brother Austin encouraged him to give the CFL a try and he was drafted by the Blue Bombers who were interested in his status as a non-import receiver.[3]
