Montreal, May 4, 2021 – With their first pick in the CFL Canadian Draft, the Montreal Alouettes selected offensive lineman Pier-Olivier Lestage from the Université de Montréal Carabins Tuesday night. The 23-year-old was selected in the second round (10th overall).
Lestage (6’3″, 310 lbs.) played three seasons with the Carabins. In 2019 he was named a RSEQ first team All-Star and second team All-Canadian. The Saint-Eustache, QC native participated in the Tropical Bowl in Florida this winter and in the Gridiron College Showcase in Texas. Following the NFL Draft last week, Lestage signed a contract as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks.
“We are extremely pleased to have been able to claim Pier-Olivier and that he was still available in the second round,” said Alouettes General Manager Danny Maciocia. “He is a versatile player, always ready to help his teammates and he will fit perfectly with the Alouettes.”
The Alouettes also hold picks 27, 28, 45 and 46 in tonight’s draft.
