Biography

Huskie Athlete of the Week (Sept. 9, 2022): 
Nyhus started the CW season with a gut punch, finding receiver Daniel Perry for a 75 yard touchdown on the very first play of the game. He kept his foot on the gas from there, spotting four different receivers for four more touchdowns, becoming the first quarterback to post five major scores in a single contest since Adam Sinagra in 2018. Nyhus marched his offence down the field seamlessly, connecting for over 400 yards while avoiding a single interception.

U SPORTS Offensive Player of the Week (Sept 7, 2022): Mason Nyhus from Regina, Sask. completed 26 of 35 passes for 408-yards and five touchdowns including a 75-yard strike on the first play of the game as the Huskies routed the Calgary Dinos 44-5. He is the first Canada West field general to record five touchdown tosses in a contest since Adam Sinagra in 2018.

U SPORTS Offensive Player of the Week (Oct 3, 2021): Saskatchewan quarterback Mason Nyhus completed 18 of the 27 passes attempted for 351 yards and three touchdowns as the Huskies topped the UBC Thunderbirds 43-15 in Vancouver. The Regina, Sask. product efficiently directed a Saskatchewan offence that put up 626 total yards on the night.
