3. Reunited with Harbaugh
St-Juste will now be coached by his first collegiate coach in Jim Harbaugh, who recruited him to Michigan in 2017.
The cornerback saw action as a freshman that year, playing in 12 games primarily in a special teams role.
Now in Los Angeles, it's another Michigan connection for Harbaugh on the Bolts.
4. Big break in Minnesota
Following his time with the Wolverines, St-Juste saw his break come with another Big Ten team in Minnesota, where he played two years for the Gophers.
The cornerback played in all 13 games and started nine during the 2019 season recording 45 tackles (36 solo) and tying for team-high 10 pass breakups.
He earned an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention that season and played his final collegiate season in Minnesota in 2020.
5. Canada native
St-Juste is a native of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he grew up and developed into one of the top college football candidate.
Attending Cegep du Vieux Montréal and multiple college football camps, he turned himself into a four-star prospect and the No. 1 player in Quebec.
