It’s now nine and counting for Class 2017 prospect Luiji VIlain.
Late last month, Gridiron Academy’s Victor Tedondo announced on twitter that the the 6’4, 235 pound defensive end from Ottawa, Ontario was offered by NCAA Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team, University of North Carolina Tar Heels:

The Tar Heels compete in the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
In addition to the Tar Heels, Vilain also has offers from Tennessee Vols, Wisconsin Badgers, Virginia Cavaliers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Syracuse Orange, Minnesota Gophers, South Florida Bulls and Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
In August, the Ottawa defensive standout offered insight as to when and how the announcement surrounding his decision will unfold.
“It feels great to be given these offers by…great schools,” commented Villain. “I plan on committing next year, the same day as Jonathan Sutherland (fellow Gridiron Academy attendee and Class 2017 recruit).”
This past summer, the defensive standout attended several events including Michigan’s Sound Mind Sound Body Camp and Ohio State’s Friday Night Lights Camp.
Recently, Vilain ended his season with Alexandria’s Episcopal Maroon.
Other teams Vilain has suited up for north of the border include Cumberland Panthers of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL) and South Gloucester Giants of the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA).
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
