Trey Langlois has been a fixture of Bishop Kenny athletics over the last four years. He lettered in both soccer and football for the Crusaders and played huge roles on both teams.
Then the Clemson University Soccer program called. He had been to their camps over the previous few summers. Langlois was offered a spot on The Tiger’s roster next year should he want it. This was his dream. Langlois committed in July, but not without a price: he had to forego his senior football season.
“I am glad that the coaches at Clemson are giving me this chance,” Langlois said. “I definitely do not want to waste this opportunity. It was really hard watching the football games from the stands on Friday nights, but it is just one of the few sacrifices that I had to make in order to play at the collegiate level.”
Langlois finished last season with 62 goals and about 30 assists. He always has goals in his mind about what he wants to achieve, which he believes was a crucial element in his success this past season. Langlois also applies this goal-oriented mentality to his academics as he currently holds a GPA of 4.37.
“I am hoping to start at Clemson,” Langlois said. “They have lost a few seniors, specifically in roles that I could see myself playing in. As a freshman it is very difficult to be a starter, but I always try to push myself to the next level by setting really high goals for myself. I just need to come in ready and at the top of my game and my fitness level.”
My In The Game Moment
“It was when I scored an overtime goal against Bolles to win the game 2-1. It was a golden goal opportunity; the ball popped out of the top of the penalty kick spot and I just put it right in the corner. It was such a great ending to the District Championship. That was definitely a moment that stood out.”
My Biggest Fan
“My dad has been my biggest support. I don’t think he has ever missed a game of mine. He pushes me to get to the next level. Training by myself on the weekends takes a lot of self motivation, but my dad has just been such a huge figure in me getting to where I am today.”
