Professional career

[edit | edit source]

Foucault was selected fifth overall by the Montreal Alouettes (CFL) in the 2014 CFL draft. Along with Antoine Pruneau, he became one of the first two Montreal Carabins chosen in the first round of the CFL draft.[1] The Alouettes continued to hold his player rights until April 2017.

2014 season

[edit | edit source]

Unlike fellow Québécois NFL rookie Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Foucault was not drafted into the NFL, but he was invited to the Carolina Panthers, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Miami Dolphins rookie camps. He attended the Panthers' camp because the team had fewer offensive linemen competing for positions than the Colts and the Dolphins.[2] The Panthers signed him following the tryout.[3] On August 31, the team announced that Foucault had made the final 53-man roster.[4]

2015 season

[edit | edit source]

On September 5, 2015, Foucault was released by the Panthers.[5] On September 7, 2015, he was signed to the Panthers' practice squad.[6] On October 2, Foucault was called up from the practice squad.[7]

On October 6, he was cut from the team,[8] but signed once again to the practice squad on October 8.[9]

As of January 17, 2016, Foucault was on the Panther's practice squad[10]

On February 7, 2016, Foucault's Panthers played in Super Bowl 50. In the game, the Panthers fell to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24–10.[11]

2016 season

[edit | edit source]

On August 28, 2016, Foucault was waived by the Panthers.[12]

BC Lions (first stint)

[edit | edit source]

On March 27, 2017, the BC Lions (CFL) acquired the rights to Foucault and offensive lineman Vincent Brown from the Montreal Alouettes in exchange for international offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye and future considerations.[13] On April 11, 2017, the Lions and Foucault agreed to a three-year contract through the 2019 CFL season.[14] He played in 51 regular season games with the Lions that year, then became a free agent when his contract expired at the end of the season.

Montreal Alouettes

[edit | edit source]

On February 8, 2021, it was announced that Foucault had signed with the Montreal Alouettes.[15] He played in 13 games for the Alouettes, but was released shortly after the season ended on December 20, 2021.[16]

[edit | edit source]

On February 11, 2025, it was announced that Foucault had re-signed with the BC Lions.[20] On June 6, 2025, Foucault was placed on the Lions' 6-game injured list to start the 2025 CFL season due an injury sustained during a preseason game three days prior. Foucault remained on the Lions' 6-game injured list for the entire 2025 CFL season.[21]
