Recently, the 6’4, 215 pound wide receiver from Lachute, Quebec committed to the McGill Redmen. Β Lupien will join the team for the 2016 RSEQ season.

While he felt comfortable with the football program and campus, Redmen Offensive Coordinator Benout Groulx provided a special moment which made Lupien realize that was the place he wanted to play at the CIS level.

“Within my first visit I felt like home,” recalled the offensive standout. “The coaching staff such as Sebastien Levesque, were very close with me.”

“Ron Hilaire is a great coach with a strong mentality that fits me. Also, when Benoit Groulx showed me his playbook, I knew at that moment I wanted to play for him even if others universities talked to me. For school, I couldn’t ask for any better which was a part of my plan.”
