Quarterback David Macchi, who shattered 10 school records and helped Valparaiso University to its first-ever outright Pioneer Football League Championship in 2003, has been invited to the camp of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Macchi, who will leave to attend the camp next week, will be competing for the third and/or fourth quarterback positions with five other players.

A native of San Jose, Calif./Willow Glen HS, Macchi passed for 3,763 yards and 38 touchdowns in 2003. In his two-year career, he became Valpo's all-time passing leader with 7,089 yards and also broke the school record with 59 touchdown passes.
