Carabins add two local commits to their 2018 class.
Receiver Jason Hovington and defensive lineman Julien Melanson from CΓ©gep du Vieux MontrΓ©al already know what the city of MontrΓ©al has to offer, and now they will see it from a whole new perspective as members of the MontrΓ©al Carabins.
Jason Hovington
Jason Hovington from St-Hubert, QuΓ©bec, has already experienced MontrΓ©al living. He liked it so much he has decided to call the city home for another few years. βI chose MontrΓ©al because it was the best fit for me. I felt at home on my first visit there. I believe in their coaching staff and I like the way they do things,β he said.
βI think they are a tremendous coaching staff and I will be able to reach my full potential there,β added Hovington, who will be taking industrial relations.
In Hovingtonβs eight-year career, he played with Les Rebelles de Saint-Hubert (RSEQ) before joining Les Spartiates Vieux MontrΓ©al (RSEQ Division 1). In 2014, the 6β3, 200lbs athlete won a Bol dβOr with Les Spartiates.
