A look at Antoine Deslauriers’ career so far

Born in Quebec, Canada, Antoine Deslauriers moved to Ruben Gap, Georgia, to play high school football for Nacoochee High. Before that, he played for College Laval in his home country.

According to an interview in 2022, he started playing football when he was eight due to his bigger size for his age. He described himself as an intense, serious player who likes to hit opponents on the field and have fun with his teammates off it.

Last season, while playing for Nacoochee, Antoine Deslauriers registered 72 tackles, 18 of which resulted in a loss of yardage for the offense. He also had two quarterback sacks, three pass interceptions, and two forced fumbles in 14 games.

He is part of ESPN’s Top 100 linebacker prospects of his class while being rated three stars. It remains to be seen if he can really impact the college game with his size and build.
