Karl-CĆ©drick Clairmenceau

By Angel Dorvil Gelika.

Having spent the last three years in Quebec City, QuĆ©bec, Karl-CĆ©drick Clairmenceau is itching to return to familiar waters. ā€œI wanted to come back home and be closer to my family,ā€ he said. ā€œAlso, the Ravensā€™ program is amazing from what I saw and itā€™s stable. Thatā€™s what I need right now.ā€

Clairmenceau, who is interested in either business or a computer-based program, added that, ā€œItā€™s a great coaching staff. Iā€™m excited to play for them.ā€

The 6ā€™1, 275lbs product of Gatineau, QuĆ©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 dā€™Or in 2016.

Currently a left guard, Clairmenceau knows he isnā€™t confined to one spot. ā€œI have a skillset and a baggage that lets me play anywhere on the line,ā€ he said, ā€œand now Iā€™m just looking forward to start working and playing again.ā€
