Sherbrooke Vert et Or linebacker Nicolas Boulay was the 30th overall pick in the 2013 Canadian Football League Draft this afternoon. The Montreal Alouettes offered him an opportunity to earn a spot among the professionals.
The number 5 has brought luck to the 4-year veteran of the Vert et Or since it was a fifth selection for the Alouettes since the beginning of the day and Boulay was also the fifth player to be chosen from the linebackers .
No. 56 from David Lessard’s team becomes the third Sherbrooke player to be directly associated with the Alouettes, after the kicker William Dion (who signed a contract this year and will be at the next training camp) and fullback Benoit Boulanger (drafted 39th overall by the Alouettes in May 2009).
