CHRISTOPHER FORTIN WILL PLAY FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT HUSKIES
by Eric Veilleux
Offensive lineman Christopher Fortin announced on 103.5 this morning that he will continue his career with the University of Connecticut Huskies once the next season is over. The colossus now 6'5 and 270 lbs will become the first former Patriots of Polyvalente Bélanger of St. Martin to play in the best division of the NCAA.
Present at the Huskies camp to fight with other hopes two weeks ago, the tackle has impressed the staff of the team thanks to his speed and his footwork. The head coach invited the Condors athlete into his office after the session to immediately give him the chance to join Uconn. The young man of Saint-René will not have to pay for his studies, his lodging and his food for the whole of his school stay. He will be able to focus on training and playing at Rentschler Field, a stadium with more than 40,000 seats.
Fortin also participated in camps in Syracuse and Buffalo. In fact, the Buffalo Bulls team was particularly interested in getting their hands on the local athlete. She was also willing to offer the Beauceron a full scholarship to convince him to enlist.
The gold medalist at the U19 World Championship will complete his collegiate stint in Saint-Georges with a final season with the Condors this fall. The opening game will be held on August 31, in the evening, while the Beaucerons will be visited by the Lynx of Édouard-Montpetit Cégep.
