Kris Robertson earns football all-Canadian award

Kris Robertson, a fourth-year return specialist, earned his second straight all-Canadian award when the CIS revealed its football honours earlier this week.

The Pickering, Ont. native was named to the second team. He was a first team all-Canadian in 2011, becoming the first Stinger in school history to earn the national all-star recognition as a return specialist.

This season, playing 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.

The Sociology major was also a starting defensive halfback for the Stingers. He led the RSEQ in interceptions with four. He took two of them back for touchdowns.
