BURLINGTON, Ont. – Western Mustangs offensive lineman Sean Jamieson has been named Ontario University Athletics Lineman of the Year as the league announced the football major awards earlier today.
 
Coming off a tremendous 2016 season, Jamieson takes home the J.P. Metras Trophy for OUA Lineman of the Year.
 
In his final season with Western, Jamieson, a fifth-year kinesiology major was a stalwart on the line for the Mustangs as one of the best run blockers and pass protectors in OUA.  Not only does the Winnipeg native have a dominant physical presence and tenacious work-ethic, but as team captain and a leader both on and off the field for Western, Jamieson is a major reason for the Mustangs success this season.
 
Jamieson, who was selected 20^th overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2016 CFL Draft, was named an OUA first-team all-star for a third straight season on Wednesday and becomes the first player to win the J.P. Metras Award for OUA Lineman of the Year since Roger Dunbrack earned the honours back in 1997.
 
Should Jamieson be recognized with the J.P. Metras Trophy at the national level, he would become just the second Mustangs player to win the award, joining former Mustang Pierre Verchavel who was recognized following the 1987 season.
