Western Mustangs quarterback Chris Merchant and head coach Greg Marshall received national honours for their work with the team throughout the season.
The pair each picked up an award at the annual Vanier Cup Gala.
Merchant, a Kinesiology major, was named the 2019 winner of the Hec Crighton Trophy for the most outstanding player in U SPORTS football.
"Chris has had an outstanding season and career as our quarterback at Western," said Marshall. "His work ethic and competitive spirit has been an inspiration to our team. His record as our starting quarterback is an incredible 39-3. He is truly deserving of this award and will go down as one of the best student-athletes to ever play at Western."
Merchant completed 159 of 232 pass attempts throughout the season for 2,378 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has previously been awarded the 2019 OUA MVP and 2018 Dalt White Trophy as Yates Cup MVP.
The Calgary native is only the sixth Mustang to ever win the Hec Crighton Trophy.
For a second straight season, Marshall was awarded the Frank Tindall Trophy for coach of the year.
"Despite an off season with multiple coaching changes, several graduating starters, and a largely rookie offensive line, Coach Marshall led the Mustangs to another undefeated season," said Christine Stapleton, director, sports and recreation services. "His ability to motivate and inspire his teams is a testament to the hours of hard work and dedication he puts in to not just winning games but seeing his student-athletes succeed both on and off the field."
Marshall is the first coach to receive the prestigious award two years in a row.
