Jaxxon Brashear, Football, Ottawa Gee-Gees

Brashear’s defensive performance earned the Ottawa Gee-Gees their exciting 30-23 win over the Guelph Gryphons on Saturday afternoon. Causing three turnovers, the defensive back from Quebec City, Que. gave the Gee-Gees’ offence the opportunities they needed to stay in the game.

He had nine tackles on the day, including one sack and one forced fumble. Brashear’s pick-six in the final two minutes of the game sealed the deal for Ottawa, as he grabbed the Gryphons’ pass out of the air and ran it back for the major. It was his second interception of the contest.

Adding to his impressive start to the season, the running back from St. Thomas, Ont. ran for over 100 yards for the fourth time in a row this season.
