Laval adds two local commits to the Class of 2020
Alexandre Knox, a linebacker from CΓ©gep Garneau, and Vincent Delisle, a defensive back from Champlain College Lennoxville, know that they belong with the Laval Rouge et Or.
Alexandre Knox
Alexandre Knox is right where he wants to be. A resident of QuΓ©bec City, QuΓ©bec, he said that Laval is his hometown team, and he grew up watching them play. βI think it’s the best team in the country, and I want to play with the best,β he added.
When it comes to the coaches, Knox said he has a good feeling talking with Marc Fortier, the teamβs defensive coordinator. βHe wants to win, and I want to be a part of his plan for the future years,β Knox says. βAlso, the defensive back coach at Laval, Olivier Turcotte-LΓ©tourneau, coached me in the past, and I’ve always loved working with him.β
Standing at 6β2, 200lbs, the outside linebacker spent three years with Les Γlans du CΓ©gep Garneau (RSEQ Division 1). He was a defensive captain on the team. Before that, Knox, who is interested in business administration, played at lβΓcole secondaire Saint-Jean-Eudes.
Vincent Delisle
Vincent Delisle is ready to return to the place where it all started. βI choose to commit to Laval to comeback to my hometown,β he says. β(Also), the winning tradition, the coaching staff and the opportunities that are there were the best for me. I also had this feeling it was just the right place for me.β
Delisle is no stranger to his positional coach, Turcotte-LΓ©tourneau, either. βHe coached me at Team QuΓ©bec and Team Canada, so I already had him as a coach,β he says. βI like the coaching staff thatβs there … I think that this coaching staff can help me be the best player I can be.β
The potential kinesiology student is 6β2, 185lbs. He played with Le Blizzard du SΓ©minaire Saint-FranΓ§ois in high school, and the Champlain College Lennoxville Cougars in CΓ©gep.
