Saskatchewan Huskies quarterback Mason Nyhus, StFX X-Men defensive back Ethan Mastin and Manitoba kick returner Gavin Cobb are the U SPORTS Football Players of the Week, for the period ending October 3, 2021.

Gavin Cobb was all over the stats sheet on Friday night scoring three touchdowns including a 91-yard punt return for a major giving the Manitoba Bisons a commanding 21-2 second quarter lead en route to a 31-17 victory over the Alberta Golden Bears. The punt return major was Cobb's third touchdown of the evening as the fourth-year receiver also caught a pair of TD passes in the first quarter of the contest.
