Cesaire played football for Southern Connecticut State University, a Division II program. In 2002, after his senior year, Jacques was named the Northeast-10 Conference Defensive Lineman of the year. He was a first team NCAA Division II All-America selection by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and a first team all NE-10 pick in 2002.
