Jordan named OUA MVP

Chatham's Ethan Jordan capped off a historic football season by earning the Larry Haylor Award as the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The Wilfrid Laurier receiver dominated the football field once again, leading all conference receivers with 1,000 yards, 10 touchdowns, and an average of 133.3 yards per game.

Jordan also made 68 receptions, the fourth-highest single-season total in OUA history, and became the league’s all-time leader in career catches with 239.

His 3,450 career receiving yards set a new Laurier record and rank second in OUA history, while his 30 career touchdowns also place him second all-time.

A psychology student, Jordan was also named a first-team all-star for the fourth straight season.
