When Plourde visited Sherbrooke, there was an air of familiarity with what will one day be his home. Currently living in LΓ©vis, QuΓ©bec, for school, he is a former resident of Chicoutimi in Saguenay, QuΓ©bec.
βFrom my first visit, I felt home there (in Sherbrooke). It looks like LΓ©vis and Saguenay and the team spirit is awesome,β Plourde said.
Standing at 6β3, 190lbs, the receiver was also impressed by who would be his future coaches. He said that the wide receiver coach, Simon Carbonneau Champeau, has an extensive football background, including a stint in the CFL, which will benefit him.
βI really like Coach Brentβs mentality and his play style fit me well,β Plourde added. βAnd finally, Head Coach Mathieu Lecompte is passionate and I know he can bring me and the team to the top!β
Currently considering the bilingual administration program, Plourde said the co-op opportunity was βmore than interesting.β
Before joining the Les Faucons du CΓ©gep de LΓ©vis-Lauzon (RSEQ Division 1), he played for Les Mustangs de L’odyssΓ©e Dominique-Racine in high school.
