Harris named CFL Player of the Month for October

The Canadian Football League announced Thursday that REDBLACKS quarterback Trevor Harris has been named one of the CFL’s Shaw Top Performers of the Month for October.

Trevor Harris had two games of 300+ passing yards in October. He also scored eight passing touchdowns and threw just one interception to lead the Ottawa REDBLACKS to two wins last month and their third East Division title in four years.

Week 20’s game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats helped Harris elevate his total passing yards to 1248 in October, achieving his first career season of 5000+ yards. He also threw three touchdown passes in the contest – he also threw three TDs during the REDBLACKS Week 17 game against Winnipeg, a game Ottawa lost in overtime.

Harris is first in the league with 431 completions in 615 attempts. He also ranks third with 5,116 yards and fourth in touchdowns with 22. Three of his receivers – Brad Sinopoli, Greg Ellingson and Diontae Spencer – are in the top seven in receiving yards.

Harris was named a Shaw CFL Top Performer of the Week for Weeks 6, 9 and 19.
