CIS Rookie of the Year Tyler Varga, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 15 touchdowns, will not be returning to Western University or its football program for the 2012 season.
“We respect Tyler’s decision not to return to the Mustangs. There is no question that Tyler is an outstanding young man,” said Mustangs head coach Greg Marshall. “He has demonstrated his talent and skills at the highest levels as both an athlete and student here at Western. We appreciate the contributions that he made to the Mustangs football program last year and wish him the very best in his future pursuits.”
Varga’s 799 total yards on the ground last season ranked second in the OUA and fifth in the CIS.
