Montreal Carabins quarterback Jonathan Sénécal is on the verge of making history. Leading his team to a remarkable Vanier Cup win last season, Sénécal now looks to secure another championship as Montreal faces off against rival Laval Rouge et Or this Saturday for the RSEQ title and a coveted spot in the national semifinal.
Sénécal, who captured the Vanier Cup MVP and the prestigious Hec Crighton Trophy last year, has been labeled a “game-changer” by those closest to him. His former coach and current offensive coordinator, Gabriel Cousineau, recalls watching Sénécal’s passion for football emerge at a young age and describes him as the “Messiah” who lived up to his reputation with Montreal’s 2023 triumph. This season, Sénécal aims to lead Montreal to back-to-back titles, a feat that would immortalize the team.
As one of the few Canadian quarterbacks with potential CFL aspirations, Sénécal approaches each game with determination. While he has excelled in his role with over 4,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns in the last two seasons, he remains grounded. “The CFL would be amazing,” Sénécal said. “But even if that doesn’t work out, football has given me so much.”
Though he’s renowned for his dual-threat ability on the field, Sénécal acknowledges that vocal leadership is an area he’s working on, drawing inspiration from CFL quarterback Cody Fajardo’s ability to energize his team during practices. His coach, Cousineau, agrees that Sénécal’s potential in the CFL may require some time and development, but with his powerful arm and mobility, his future shines bright.
