Luiji Vilain is capping off the month of January on a high note.
Yesterday, the 6’4, 235 pound defensive end from Ottawa, Ontario received two NCAA offers from Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, Ohio State Buckeyes and Boston College Eagles. The news was announced on twitter and Instagram by Gridiron Academy’s Victor Tedondo:

Moreover, Vilain also has offers from Tennessee Vols, Wisconsin Badgers, Virginia Cavaliers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Syracuse Orange, Minnesota Gophers, South Florida Bulls, Rutgers Scarlet Knights and North Carolina Tar Heels where CFC#1 Patrice Rene verbally committed to last week.
In August, the Ottawa defensive standout offered insight as to when and how the announcement surrounding his decision will unfold.
“It feels great to be given these offers by…great schools,” commented Villain. “I plan on committing next year, the same day as Jonathan Sutherland (fellow Gridiron Academy attendee and Class 2017 recruit).”
This past summer, the defensive standout attended several events including Michigan’s Sound Mind Sound Body Camp and Ohio State’s Friday Night Lights Camp.
Recently, Vilain ended his season with Alexandria’s Episcopal Maroon.
Other teams Vilain has suited up for north of the border include Cumberland Panthers of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL) and South Gloucester Giants of the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA).
