Joining them on the first all-Canadian team are offensive lineman Kaiden Kerntopf, defensive back Ahmed Borhot who led the nation with eight interceptions and kicker Grady Hay who averaged 38.15 yards per punt during the regular season.

Offensive lineman Michael Astone and defensive back Kenley Williams, who intercepted five passes during the regular season, were named to the second team.
