Marshall, Reinhart and Campbell earn OUA football player of the week recognition
HAMILTON, Ont. – The following student-athletes have been named OUA Football Players of the Week for the period ending October 14, 2012.
OFFENCE: Brian Marshall, Western Mustangs, Receiver
Brian Marshall (London, Ont.) had a standout game on the gridiron in Saturday's 56-3 victory over the Laurier Golden Hawks. The third-year receiver caught seven passes for 187 yards and four touchdowns. The four touchdown receptions ties Marshall with Mustang greats Nigel Wilson, Andy Fantuz and Nick Pasic for the most touchdowns in a single game by a Western player. Marshall broke the game open for Western in the first quarter with a 69-yard touchdown reception, followed quickly by a 55-yard score.
DEFENCE: Jake Reinhart, Guelph Gryphons, Linebacker
Jake Reinhart (Guelph, Ont.) helped lead the Guelph Gryphons to a 33-28 win over the No. 4 Queen's Gaels to record the team's sixth straight victory this season. The six-foot, 220 pound linebacker racked up a game-high five solo tackles, four assisted tackles and one interception for seven yards. The fifth-year linebacker held the nation's second best running back to under 100 yards and also contributed to special teams unit as the long snapper, filling in for Guelph's injured starter. Reinhart sits seventh in the CIS for tackles. With the win, the Gryphons clinch second place in the OUA standings and a bye in the OUA quarter-finals.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Vincent Campbell, Ottawa Gee-Gees, Receiver
Vincent Campbell started a big day against the Waterloo Warriors by returning the opening kickoff 107 yards for his first return touchdown of the season. That play is the longest CIS runback this season, and is only the second kickoff to be returned for a touchdown in 2012. The Gatineau, Que. native averaged 12.7 yards on seven punt returns, as the crafty rookie dodged and leapt around would-tacklers to total 89 yards on punt returns and 149 yards on kickoffs. Campbell also led the Gee-Gees receiving corps with 76 yards on four catches, scoring his second touchdown on a 48-yard reception.
