A University of Windsor football player has been named to the OUA all-rookie team.
Freshman Wes Simpson was named to the team on Tuesday after an impressive season.
"Wes had a remarkable rookie season with the Lancers leading all freshmen in the OUA with 33.5 total tackles," said Lancer football head coach JP Cireclli. "As a free safety, his unique athleticism and raw skill allowed him to be a day one starter for our program and major contributor on the defensive side of the ball."
In his first game with the Lancers, Simpson picked up three solo tackles — four total — to make his mark and only continued to contribute from there.
He recorded multiple tackles in seven games this year and even with his strong start, only seemed to get more and more comfortable as the season wore on.
In his final two contests, the team's third-leading tackler stuffed the stat sheet with career-best marks of 7.5 and eight, respectively, with 13 of those takedowns going down as solo efforts.
