Today we celebrate one of our 2020 Purple Blanket Recipients as a part of our Major Awards in May celebration!

Western's prestigious Purple Blankets are presented to the student athletes who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, achieved superior distinction at the provincial and/or national level of competition as representatives of Western. 

Marc is a decorated member of the football team and has been named OUA Special Teams Player of the Week as well as Mustangs Athlete of the Week numerous times throughout his career. This year Marc's opening field goal pushed him past former Mustang Lirim Hajrullahu as the Mustangs all-time leading point scorer with 425. He had a particularly spectacular 2019 season as the first athlete to be named both the 1st Team All-Canadian Punter and 1st Team All-Canadian Kicker. He set both an OUA and U SPORTS record with an average of 47.5 yards per punt and successfully made 22 out of 24 field goals for an average of 92%. His career with the Mustangs included becoming the leading scorer in Western and OUA history with a total of 442 points, setting a U SPORTS record for total field goals in a career with a whopping 92. His work ethic, selfless attitude, and positive personality makes him a well-respected member of the team and a well-deserving recipient of the Purple Blanket.
