Two members of the Concordia Stingers football team were named RSEQ all-stars as voted on by the conference coaches and released late this afternoon.
Kris Robertson, a fourth-year return specialist from Pickering Ont., is on the team for the second consecutive season. In nine games, he returned 32 punts for 297 yards, while adding another 636 yards on kickoff returns. He averaged 115.8 all-purpose yards a game.
He was also a starting defensive halfback for the Stingers. Robertson led the league in interceptions with four. He took two of them back for touchdowns.
Smith, a third-year defensive tackle from Scarborough, Ont., makes his first appearance on the honour roll. He was a serious threat to the league’s quarterbacks this season, picking up six solo sacks and two assisted sacks. In nine games, he picked up 28.5 total tackles, four pass breakups and a forced fumble.
In all, there were 27 players on the all-star team. The Laval Rouge et Or had 10 and the Montreal Carabins had nine players. The McGill Redmen picked up four honours and the Bishop’s Gaiters and the Stingers had two each. The Sherbrooke Vert & Or did not place an athlete on the elite squad.
