Daniel Wiebe - Player of the Year
Charlie Parks - Outstanding Lineman of the Year
Seth Hundeby - Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year
Scott Flory - Coach of the Year
Daniel Wiebe - 2025 Canada West Player of the Year
5th-Year Receiver | Saskatoon, Sask. | Arts & Science
In his final season as a Huskie, fifth-year receiver Daniel Wiebe put on a phenomenal performance throughout the 2025 Canada West campaign.
Leading the Huskies to a 7-1 record and the top spot in the conference standings, the local Saskatoon product recorded the triple crown in Canada West, leading all receivers with 60 receptions, 929 yards, and 11 touchdowns.
Doing so with two different quarterbacks under centre, it was also a historic season for Wiebe, setting Huskie program records for single-season and career receiving touchdowns. He also came within striking distance of two conference records, finishing third all-time in both single-season receptions and touchdowns.
Wiebe becomes just the second Saskatchewan receiver to be named the Canada West Player of the Year, joining former Huskie Dan Farthing, who won the award in 1988. He is also the first Huskie Player of the Year since Mason Nyhus in 2022, and the 11th in program history.
"Daniel is absolutely deserving of this recognition. He's an elite, explosive and versatile player who proved it every week, no matter the opponent, and while playing with two different quarterbacks. A true difference maker, he did a phenomenal job for us and was without a doubt the most dynamic player in the conference." - Saskatchewan Head Coach Scott Flory
Charlie Parks - 2025 Canada West Outstanding Lineman of the Year
4th-Year Defensive Lineman | Regina, Sask. | Arts & Science
In what could be considered a breakout season, fourth-year defensive lineman Charlie Parks becomes the first Saskatchewan defensive player to be named Canada West Most Outstanding Lineman since Evan Machibroda in 2019.
After being unable to appear in the 2024 season due to injury, Parks came back with a vengeance, quickly turning into one of the most productive defensive linemen in both the conference and country. Parks finished the season with a Canada West-leading 5.0 sacks and tied for the most tackles for loss with 6.0 in addition to adding 23.0 tackles, a forced fumble, and fumble recovery.
The Regina product's best game of the season came on home turf, when Parks came up with several game-breaking plays to help the Dogs improve to 5-1 with a win over Alberta.
Parks also becomes the eighth Huskie and sixth defensive lineman in program history to be recognized with the conference award.
"Charlie is long, explosive, and the kind of player teams have to game plan around. His combination of size and speed makes him a real problem for opposing offences and he displayed that all season long. He's a football player to his core, and I'm incredibly proud of the growth he's shown over his four years here and grateful he's been a part of this program." - Saskatchewan Head Coach Scott Flory
Seth Hundeby - 2025 Canada West Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year
5th-Year Linebacker | Saskatoon, Sask. | Engineering
The second Saskatchewan linebacker in the past three seasons to be named the conference's top defensive player, Seth Hundeby was one of the most dominant players in the nation in 2025.
Totalling 41.5 tackles and three sacks, the future Saskatchewan Roughrider also led the conference in forced fumbles (3) and was tied for the top spot in both tackles for a loss (6.0) and interceptions (2) despite missing a game. A two-time conference Defensive Player of the Week in 2025, Hundeby was also the lone Canada West defensive player to record five turnovers in 2025.
A player who demanded attention from both opposing offences and spectators alike, Hundeby was a key contributor to one of the best defensive units in Canada West and U SPORTS.
Hundeby becomes the 11th Huskie in program history to be named Canada West's Most Outstanding Defensive Player, and first since former teammate Nick Wiebe in 2023.
"In my opinion, Seth is the most dominant defensive player in the country, and he's proven that week in and week out. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism is something you rarely see, and what he's shown at this level makes it clear he has a bright football future ahead of him." - Saskatchewan Head Coach Scott Flory
Scott Flory - 2025 Canada West Coach of the Year
After guiding the University of Saskatchewan Huskies to their first one-loss season since 2022, head coach Scott Flory has been named Canada West Coach of the Year.
The conference recognition is Flory's third in eight seasons of leading the Huskie program. In addition to posting a 7-1 record, his Huskies locked up the No. 1 seed in the Canada West playoffs. They were also ranked in the U SPORTS Top 10 in each iteration of the national rankings this season.
The 15-year CFL veteran and three-time Grey Cup Champion led the most productive team in Canada West on both sides of the ball. The Dogs defence stifled opponents while averaging just 17.9 points against, the fifth-fewest in the nation, while producing 31.6 points per game offensively with two quarterbacks under centre.
"We are incredibly proud of the success that both Coach Flory and the program have achieved this season. This recognition is a testament to his commitment to our student-athletes, the culture he continues to build, and his exceptional knowledge of the game, producing results both on and off the field. We could not be more excited to see the Huskies back at the top of the conference and competing in our 27th Hardy Cup." - Shannon Chinn, Chief Athletics Officer
