The Universite de Laval product appeared in eight games for the Argos as a rookie in 2018 and had one carry for 11 yards, two receptions for eight yards and one special-teams tackle. Gingras-Gagnon was a Quebec conference all-star at Laval in 2017 and was part of the Rouge et Or's Vanier-Cup winning team that season.
