Philippe Leduc, an accomplished offensive tackle from the Bol dβOr champions Vieux-MontrΓ©al Spartiates, has signed a CIS Letter of Intent committing to the Concordia Stingers.
βWeβre thrilled,β said assistant head coach Patrick Donovan. βPhilippe does very well in school. He is a true student-athlete. On the field he has great tenacity and is very aggressive. Weβre very excited to have him as part of the Stingers family.β
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 dβOr championship with Vieux-MontrΓ©al in 2014. He did not play football in 2013 but was with CollΓ¨ge 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.
βI choose Concordia because of the energy around the program,β Leduc said. βThe coaches, the Donovans and Matt Connell are also a big part of my decision.
βConcordia is the place to be for the next few years.β
The LΓ©vis, Que. native will join the Stingers at training camp this August.
