Former IUP offensive lineman Matt Guevremont was selected by the BC Lions in the fifth round of the 2020 Canadian Football League Draft Thursday night.
Guevremont was the 40th overall selection, including the ninth offensive lineman and the second player from a NCAA Division II school. He was the Lions’ fourth overall choice.
A native of Pickering, Ontario, Canada, Guevremont started 12 games at right tackle for the Crimson Hawks in 2019.
Prior to his lone season with the Crimson Hawks, Guevremont spent 2018 at Division II Malone where he earned second team G-MAC honors while playing every offensive snap at right tackle. He also spent two seasons at Chabot Community College, where he was named Region I All-California as a sophomore.
Guevremont becomes IUP’s first professionally drafted player since Akwasi Owusu-Ansah was picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
