Monette, fresh out of his senior year at Alexandria High School, is poised to learn a lot from his more experienced teammates. His skill at the defensive position garnered quite a few offers from other big schools, including Baylor, Memphis and Mississippi State. Monette posted 48 tackles, one sack, and four tackles for loss in his junior season. Monette led Alexandria to the runner-up position in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association 5A state football playoffs.

Monette could have an opportunity to fight for some playing time this season. The defensive line rotation has a few open spot and with a good fall camp, Monette could find his way onto the field. At the very least, he should be a candidate to play in four games and keep his redshirt.
