Thomassin broke into the CFL in 2021, appearing in two games with the Montreal Alouettes after being selected in the second round of the 2019 CFL draft. The 27-year-old offensive lineman has spent most of the 2022 CFL season on the Alouettes practice roster before being released by the club in late August.
Collegiately, Thomassin played at Laval, where he was selected as a first-team All-Canadian (2018, 2019) and named a second-team All-Canadian in 2017.
