CRENSHAW NAMED FIRST-TEAM ALL-STAR, MARTIN CHOSEN FOR ALL-ROOKIE TEAM

As announced by the OUA on Thursday (Nov. 12) afternoon, University of Toronto Varsity Blues football player Devon Crenshaw (Humanities/Faculty of Arts & Science) was named an OUA first team all-star while first-year standout Omarion Martin (Humanities/Faculty of Arts & Science) was selected as an OUA all-rookie.

Serving as the primary boundary corner and return specialist for the Blues this season, Crenshaw was all over the field throughout the fall campaign. Defensively, the Humanities major appeared in all eight regular season games tallying a new career-high 24 solo tackles while adding five pass breakups, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Crenshaw then added 699 return yards averaging nearly 20 yards per kick return. The versatile defensive back's season was highlighted by a spectacular Week 7 performance in Toronto's road contest versus McMaster registering over 100 return yards along with seven solo tackles and an interception. The Coquitlam, B.C., native now has seven career interceptions and 70 career tackles through four seasons wearing the Blue and White. This marks Crenshaw's first OUA all-star selection.

A first-year Humanities student from Toronto, Martin earns all-rookie honours after jumping right into the fold in the Blues backfield. Appearing in seven regular season games this fall, Martin led the Blues in rushing with 341 yards on 56 carries. His 6.1 yards per carry would rank fourth-best in the province at the conclusion of the regular season. In addition, he also grabbed 12 receptions for 77 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
