“It was an unbelievable feeling to know that I will finally realize my dream to play college football,” expressed Labelle.
As for his decision to sign with the Bearcats, it came down to the relationship he had with the coaching staff and the chance to make an early impact on the team.
“I want to play early, but I wasn’t really looking at the depth chart,” explained Labelle. “I want to earn my spot and I know they’re going to give me that opportunity there.”
“I get along with Tight End Coach Nick Grimes and I look forward to work with him.”
Labelle previously suited up for both CEGEP Division 1 team Montmorency Nomades as well as Laurentide-Lanaudiere Wildcats.
