Karl-CΓ©drick Clairmenceau

By Angel Dorvil Gelika.

Having spent the last three years in Quebec City, QuΓ©bec, Karl-CΓ©drick Clairmenceau is itching to return to familiar waters. β€œI wanted to come back home and be closer to my family,” he said. β€œAlso, the Ravens’ program is amazing from what I saw and it’s stable. That’s what I need right now.”

Clairmenceau, who is interested in either business or a computer-based program, added that, β€œIt’s a great coaching staff. I’m excited to play for them.”

The 6’1, 275lbs product of Gatineau, QuΓ©bec, played with the Mont-Bleu Panthers in high school for five seasons before joining the Le Notre-Dame du CNDF (RSEQ Division 1) for three. He received a ROY award in 2011 and was defensive player of the year in 2012. He was a two-time MVP in 2013 and 2014. The following year he was lineman of the year. He also helped Le Notre-Dame win a Bol d’Or in 2016.

Currently a left guard, Clairmenceau knows he isn’t confined to one spot. β€œI have a skillset and a baggage that lets me play anywhere on the line,” he said, β€œand now I’m just looking forward to start working and playing again.”
