Four members of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team received U Sports awards prior to the Vanier Cup.

Running back Ryker Frank was honoured twice, once with the Russ Jackson Student-Athlete Community Service Award and also as a second-team All-Canadian.

It’s the first time in program history that a Huskie player has earned the Russ Jackson award and it came after a season that saw Frank, a fourth-year engineering student, tally 929 yards and 10 touchdowns on 153 carries.
