(AP) – Winnipeg running back and University of North Dakota graduate Brady Oliveira was honored as the Canadian Football League’s George Reed Most Outstanding Player and selected the top Canadian player Thursday night.

Oliveira and the Blue Bombers will face the Toronto Argonauts in the Grey Cup on Sunday at B.C. Place Stadium. Winnipeg is in the game for a fifth straight year, chasing its third title.

Nicknamed by local radio at “The Manitoba Moose,” Oliveira joined Jon Cornish, Russ Jackson and Tony Gabriel as the only players to sweep the Most Outstanding Player and top Canadian awards.

From Winnipeg, Oliveira ran for 1,353 yards for his second straight CFL rushing title. The former University of North Dakota star also topped the league in yards from scrimmage at 1,829 for a second year in a row.

Saskatchewan’s Rolan Milligan Jr. was honored as the top defensive player, Edmonton’s Nick Anderson as the rookie of the year and Montreal’s Jason Maas as the coach of the year.
