Queen's University Athletics

Jimmy Allin of Belleville, Ont., was awarded the Jenkins Trophy as the top graduating male athlete. During his four-year career at Queen’s he collected four OUA All-Star selections including two this season, one on special teams and another at cornerback. He was a pivotal component of a Gaels squad that finished the 2008 campaign with a perfect 8-0 regular season record while earning a CIS All-Canadian selection.

Earlier this year he became the school’s all-time leader in pass break-ups and in 2007 recorded the team’s longest special team return at 117-yards. Allin was also chosen as the 2008 Male Athlete of the Year by his hometown of Belleville.

Graduating from the Faculty of Arts & Science with an honours degree in Life Science, the two-time Academic All-Canadian anticipates a selected in this year’s Canadian Football League draft. In early March Allin opened scouts eyes by setting a CFL evaluation camp record in the shuttle run at 3.97 seconds.
