Simon Ouellette '24 Recruiting Profile

One of my greatest aspirations as a student-athlete is to play football at the collegiate level while also excelling academically. I am passionately committed to my training regimen and continuously work on improving my strength, speed, and agility to become a dynamic and explosive player on the field. Currently, I am a dedicated rugby player, which has further enhanced my speed, tackling, and ability to track the ball. As well, I have a history of track and field as a thrower. This experience has greatly increased my explosiveness and hip mobility as well as increased my speed as I was a backup 100-meter runner. Beyond athletics, I have clear career aspirations to become an occupational therapist and go into the field of sports sciences and kinesiology and help people work through traumatic injuries. As a player I am always dedicated to my team, my teammates, and my coaches, I will always go 150 percent whether it's a game or a practice and will constantly strive to be a leader on and off the field.

I am proud to have been an active member of my community through my volunteer work such as working at festivals, community events like tamarack race weekend and as a youth football coach. Giving back to the community has been a central part of my life and I feel fulfilled by the positive impact I have been able to make. As a volunteer I have had the opportunity to work with diverse groups of people and learn about different cultures. I enjoy meeting new people, working as a team, and being a part of something bigger than myself.
