First-year linebacker, Braeden MacDougall, takes home Special Teams Player of the Game honours for the Gryphons Oct. 15 matchup with the Laurier Golden Hawks. MacDougall, a 6-0, 220-pound linebacker out of the W.F. Herman Academy in Windsor, recorded a pair of solo tackles on punt coverage. The 21-year-old management economics and finance major has also impressed as the Gryphons long snapper (filling in for standout long snapper, Simon Chaves, who has missed the majority of the 2022 season due to injury). This marks the second time in 2022 in which MacDougall has earned weekly player of the game honours for the Gryphons, with the freshman linebacker also having earned Defensive Player of the Game honours during the team's Sept. 17 road game against the Ottawa Gee-Gees.
