Hamilton Tiger-Cats guard up for CFL outstanding lineman award

Brandon Revenberg, the left guard of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, is once again the East Division nominee for the most outstanding offensive lineman award.

For a second successive season, and third time in the last four, Revenberg and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Stanley Bryant are the finalists for the top O-lineman award. Bryant became the Canadian Football League’s first three-time winner of the award in 2021. He also won in 2017 and in ’18.

The 29-year-old Revenberg, who has played all 102 of his career regular-season games with the Tiger-Cats, is the only East award nominee from Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats (8-10) struggled for much of the season before finishing the regular-season on a four-win streak, which they will take into the East semifinal against the Montréal Alouettes (9-9) on Sunday (Nov. 6, 1 p.m., TSN/RDS/AM900CHML/Ticats Audio Network).

The 6-foot-4, 301-pound Revenberg was a constant in a season where the Tiger-Cats were plagued by injuries, starting 17-of-18 games. His pass protection also helped the Tiger-Cats be one of just two teams with multiple 1,000-yard receivers (Tim White and Steven Dunbar Jr.)

Hudson, though, was central to two-time Grey Cup champion Winnipeg posting a league- and franchise-best 15-3 record. His quarterback, Zach Collaros, who is an ex-Tiger-Cat, is also the West nominee for most outstanding player (MOP).

Collaros finished with over 4,000 yards passing for the first time and his 37 touchdown passes led the league.
