FIRST TEAM ALL-CANADIAN

Toronto – Bishop’s Gaiters running back Jamall
Lee (Port C
Lee, a third-year Sociology major, was this year's winner
of the Jeff Russel Trophy, awarded to the QUFL's most outstanding year,
after he set a Quebec
single-season record with 1464 yards rushing, breaking the old provincial record of 1050 yards
(Set by Larry Smith '71 in 1969). Lee’s total is the
fifth-highest single-season total in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) history. Lee
also set a new QUFL record with 181 carries, breaking the old mark of
176 (Joseph Mroué, Montréal, 2005). He also ran for 12 touchdowns on the
season, a school record and the second-highest total in QUFL history,
and had seven runs of 50 yards or more, including three on Sept. 15
against Sherbrooke.
The 6’1”, 215 lb Lee was named QUFL Offensive Player of
the Week on three occasions this season, and was named CIS player of the
Week twice. After only three seasons, Lee holds Bishop’s career records
for rushing yards (3094) and total touchdowns (25).
Lee is the first Gaiter to be named a First-Team
All-Canadian since Gilles Colon was named to the team in 2003 as an
inside receiver, and the first running back to be an All-Canadian since
Keith Kelly was named to a Second Team All-Canadian in 1989. Lee
was also the QUFL's nominee for the Hec Crighton Trophy, awarded to the
CIS' Most Outstanding Player. This award was won by quarterback Erik
Glavic of the Saint Mary's Huskies.
The last OQIFC/QUFL
player to win the Trophy was Phil Côté of Ottawa in 1999, and a
Quebec-based athlete has only won once (Dave Fleiszer, McGill, 1969).
