McGill gives opportunities

McGill adds a QuƩbec commit to their Class of 2018.

Drawn in by the allure of future prosperity, Nicolas Baillargeon, a wide receiver from CƩgep de Sherbrooke, will be heading north to the city of MontrƩal after committing to McGill.

Touted as one of Canadaā€™s top academic schools, Baillargeon said he chose McGill because of the school itself and the coaching staff. ā€œThe opportunity those two things give me in my future and in my football career were really what made me commit,ā€ the potential bachelor of education student said.

ā€œThe coaching staff seems to be really passionate about what theyā€™re doing and they really seem to put the importance on the academic part of being a student-athlete,ā€ Baillargeon added. ā€œThey also look super passionate about the game of football and about all the complexity of it.ā€

Baillargeon spent five years with Les Barons du SĆ©minaire de Sherbrooke (RSEQ) in high school before spending the next three with Les Volontaires du CĆ©gep de Sherbrooke (RSEQ Division 2) in his hometown of Sherbrooke, QuĆ©bec. In 2015, the 5ā€™10, 155lbs athlete was Les Baronsā€™ most improved player.

Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
