The honours keep rolling in for Simon Fraser University linebacker Jordan Herdman (Winnipeg, MB) who has been selected the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year.

The sophomore, who was also unanimously voted a first-team all-star, set the GNAC single game and single season records for tackles in 2014, and finished second in the NCAA Division II in tackles this regular season, averaging 15.0 per game.

His single season tackle total of 165 was 66 more than the closest GNAC competitor and 37 more than the previous record of 128 set by Caleb Jessup of Western Washington in 2008.

The previous single-game record of 25 tackles also stood since 2008, as Herdman made 27 tackles against South Dakota School of Mines to take the crown from HSU's Bubba Reynolds.

Herdman, who also headlined the GNAC Academic All-Conference team with a 3.99 GPA in Biomedical Physiology, was a two-time GNAC Player of the Week in 2014 and finished the 11-game season with 67 solo tackles, 98 assisted tackles and 14 tackles-for-a-loss.
