Tre Ford was presented the Totzke Trophy as male athlete of the year thanks to one of the most memorable seasons the football program has seen.
In only his second season as quarterback, Ford electrified the crowd on a weekly basis putting up eye-popping numbers, leading the OUA in touchdown passes (27), passing yards (2822), and completion percentage (74.1%, which is a new OUA single-season record). He also threw the fewest interceptions amongst all qualified passers (2), while rushing for 641 yards - good for sixth in the OUA.
Ford also shattered several school records including most passing yards in a single game, doing so twice with games of 463 yards (win over Windsor) and 472 yards (win over Laurier that clinched their first playoff berth since 2003).
Ford followed up his rookie of the year awards in 2017 by winning the 2018 OUA MVP award and was also named a first-team all-star.
