WINNIPEG – Trey Vaval of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was named the CFL’s top special-teams player Thursday.
Vaval received the honour at the CFL’s awards banquet.
Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and all nine CFL head coaches.
The five-foot-11, 163-pound Vaval led the CFL in punt returns (75) and yards (957) with a touchdown while returning two kickoffs for scores — the most in the league.
He was also tops in missed field goal returns (six), yards (391), longest return (128) and touchdowns (one).
Veteran kicker Lirim Hajrullahu of the Toronto Argonauts was also a finalist. The 35-year-old from St. Catharines, Ont., made 57-of-64 field goals, including a CFL-record 12 from 50-plus yards (on 15 attempts) and a league-best 25-of-30 from 40-plus yards.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 13, 2025.
