McGill academics focal point for commits

McGill welcomes two QuΓ©bec commits to their 2019 class.

Linebacker Thomas Bélanger from Collège André-Grasset and tight end Jean Bidaux Cégep de Lévis-Lauzon are set to add their skills to McGill.

Thomas BΓ©langer

Drawn in by the academics and staying for the football, Thomas BΓ©langer has found a place for himself at McGill. β€œI chose McGill because I can get a very good education in a school (that is) known worldwide,” he said. While he is interested in the arts, he is unsure as to what he will be majoring in.

As for football, β€œI had the chance to meet the coaches and I find (that) they have a great football knowledge and are very hard working, very good coaching staff,” he said.

Primarily a linebacker, this season the 6’1, 225lbs athlete played as a defensive end. He won two Bol d’Or championships in 2013 and 2015 with Les Cactus du CollΓ¨ge Notre-Dame (RSEQ) and one in 2018 with Les PhΓ©nix du CollΓ¨ge AndrΓ©-Grasset (RSEQ Division 1).

Itching to start the season, BΓ©langer, who is from MontrΓ©al, QuΓ©bec, has a message to share: β€œI am very excited to play and hungry to prove myself at the next level.”

Jean Bidaux

Jean Bidaux is currently in LΓ©vis, QuΓ©bec, where he has played with Les Faucons du CΓ©gep de LΓ©vis-Lauzon (RSEQ Division 1) since 2016. In 2014 he played with EDF Junior (FFFA) in La Courneuve, Paris. He stands at 6’3, 215lbs.
