Early life

[edit]

Sage Doxtater was born on October 20, 1998.[1] He is a native of the Oneida Nation of the Thames.[2][3] His father was fatally stabbed before Doxtater was born.[2] Doxtater was raised by his single mother, and grew up in Glencoe, Ontario.[2] He played minor football with a team in London, Ontario, as his high school did not have a football team.[2] He then enrolled at Canada Prep Academy in St. Catharines, and played a full American football schedule.[4][2]
