Philippe Leduc, an accomplished offensive tackle from the Bol dāOr champions Vieux-MontrĆ©al Spartiates, has signed a CIS Letter of Intent committing to the Concordia Stingers.
āWeāre thrilled,ā said assistant head coach Patrick Donovan. āPhilippe does very well in school. He is a true student-athlete. On the field he has great tenacity and is very aggressive. Weāre very excited to have him as part of the Stingers family.ā
Leduc is an important addition because he can contribute right away and he comes from a program that has a great winning tradition. The Spartiates have played in the Quebec Division 1 championship in 16 of the last 20 years.
The six-foot-two, 285-pound tackle won a Bol dāOr championship with Vieux-MontrĆ©al in 2014. He did not play football in 2013 but was with CollĆØge FX Garneau in 2012.
Leduc will study Sociology at Concordia. He has a long-term academic plan that includes pursuing graduate work and a career in teaching and coaching.
āI choose Concordia because of the energy around the program,ā Leduc said. āThe coaches, the Donovans and Matt Connell are also a big part of my decision.
āConcordia is the place to be for the next few years.ā
The LĆ©vis, Que. native will join the Stingers at training camp this August.
