Laval welcomes a local commit and a QuΓ©bec commit to their 2019 class.
Always one of the top teams in Canada, the Laval Rouge et Or promise to push commits Jean-Philippe Cordero, a quarterback from CollΓ¨ge d’Alma and Olivier Bamrounsavath, a receiver from CΓ©gep Limoilou, to be their best.
Jean-Philippe Cordero
Always seeking to improve, Jean-Philippe Cordero is ready for the challenge of being a Rouge et Or. βI chose this school because I think Laval can bring me to another level of competition,β he said. βThe coaching staff is awesome.β
Cordero spent five years with Les Lynx du Pavillon Wilbrod-Dufour (RSEQ) and three with Les Jeannois du CollΓ¨ge d’Alma (RSEQ Division 3). The 6β2, 225lbs athlete helped his high school team with a Bol dβOr in 2015. In cΓ©gep, he was named as the best quarterback in the league and was on the 2018 all-star team. Cordero, who is from Alma, QuΓ©bec, is interested in physical education.

Olivier Bamrounsavath
At a young age, Olivier Bamrounsavath played with the βMini Rouge et Or,β and now itβs time to upgrade to the real thing. The product of Quebec City, QuΓ©bec, said he chose Laval for a few reasons: βStaying in my hometown, the coaching staff is amazing, their winning records and, most of all, they are willing to form me as a receiver, which is interesting.β
Bamrounsavath, who has been playing for ten years, said that he has known the Rouge et Or coaches for years. He spent his entire career playing as a quarterback and has played for LβArsenal AcadΓ©mie Saint-Louis (RSEQ) and Les Titans du CΓ©gep Limoilou (RSEQ Division 1). He was Limoilouβs rookie of the year in 2016 and recognized as a RSEQ student-athlete in 2017 and 2018. Standing at 5β10, 190lbs, he is interested in architecture.
