Haji-Rasouli Nominated As An Outstanding Lineman

This morning, local chapters of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) have named their nominees for the Gibson's Finest CFL Player Awards. In this first ballot, FRC representatives from each CFL city plus the respective head coach submitted votes for the six categories. Voters were asked to select players from their local CFL club who through on-field performance excellence, best represent the five award catagories: Most Outstanding Player, Most Outstanding Canadian Player, Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman, Most Outstanding Rookie, and Most Outstanding Special Teams Player.

Sherko Haji-Rasouli gets his first nomination as the Lions' Outstanding Lineman after helping anchor the line from his right guard position. Haji-Rasouli, in tandem with fellow veterans Angus Reid and Jason Jimenez, head up one of the CFL's most intimidating offensive lines and have powered the Lions to rank second only to Montreal in passing TD's on the season (27).
