Hamilton, Ont - BC Lions linebacker Bo Lokombo joined teammate Jordan Williams on the CFL Awards podium Friday, becoming the 5th in team history to win CFL Most Outstanding Canadian.

Lokombo returned to his hometown team as a free agent prior to 2021 and enjoyed one of his most productive seasons to date. Despite the shortened campaign, Lokombo recorded 66 defensive tackles, just five short of his career high set in 2015, while adding 11 more tackles on special teams.

The versatile linebacker also set career highs in sacks (four), interceptions (three) and scored his first career touchdown on a pick-six in a 45-13 win over Ottawa on September 11th.

"It means a lot because the hard work paid off this year and it also means a great deal to this city and this entire organization," said Lokombo on winning the award.

"The fact someone like Brent Johnson was the last Lion to win this, being classified as the top Canadian is special. Being able to represent the team on this stage is an honour."

The previous Lions to win league Most Outstanding Canadian honours are as follows: WR Jim Young (1972), RB Sean Millington (1997), SB Jason Clermont (2004 and 2007) and DL Brent Johnson (2005 and 2006).

Earlier on Friday, Williams was announced as the winner of CFL Most Outstanding Rookie.
