Hogan-Saindon played U Sports football for the Laval Rouge et Or from 2017 to 2021, but did not play in a game until 2021.[1] [2] [3] As a member of the powerhouse program that had won a Vanier Cup in 2018, he was buried on the depth chart behind other teammates.[2] As he was about to earn playing time in 2020, but the 2020 U Sports football season was instead cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Hogan-Saindon then not only played in his first game in August 2021, but also started the game at centre.[2] He was named an RSEQ All-Star at the end of the 2021 season.[1]
