Carabins welcome local commit to their Class of 2017.
Samuel Chénier, a fullback from Collège André-Grasset, will be staying in a city he knows quite well after signing with the University of Montréal Carabins.
Chénier has quite a lot going for him already at the University of Montréal. For starters, it’s one of his hometown teams seeing as he hails from Montréal, Québec. The Carabins roster is also a hotspot for Les Phénix du Collège André-Grasset (RSEQ Division 1). “It’s a great organization and a successful program. Also, I know some guys on the team who played for André-Grasset too and I want to play with them again,” Chénier said.

The 5’9, 225lbs athlete isn’t only in it for the thrill of lining up with former teammates. The Carabins coaching staff is also a hallmark of the team. “I think Montréal has the best coaching staff, so it will help me to get better everyday as a player and as a person,” Chénier said, adding that he will start in arts and sciences and then transfer into internal security.
To grow and develop both on and off the field, isn’t that just a wonderful effect of university sports?
