Parents: Matthew & Annie Metz

Birthday: April 27, 2004

2023-24: Metz's second year with the Lions saw an increased role for himself, being elevated to a permanent role in the starting lineup. Once again, Metz was great from the charity stripe, going 88.6% from the line which would have been good enough for fourth in the GSAC (fell short of the minimum attempts of 50). He set his career high late in February against OUAZ with 22 pts (8-15 FG, 3-8 3PT). Those three 3PT's tied a career high for a single game, a standard he set earlier in the season on January 4 against Hope International. He improved his shooting marks from his previous season, and averaged 8.3 points per contest to go along with 2.5 rebounds. Metz also had a better season passing the ball, with a career high of eight assists in the second matchup against SAGU American Indian to help improve his Asst./Turnover ratio. He logged a career high 43 minutes in the January triple-overtime loss to OUAZ.
