Khalil Miller - OUA Men's Basketball - Defensive Player of the Year
Humanities
Scarborough, Ont.
In his first year wearing the maroon and grey,
Khalil Miller was absolutely dominant on the defensive side of the ball. A veteran forward in his fourth-year of eligibility, Miller averaged 1.18 steals per game and 7.09 defensive rebounds per game. Over the course of the 22 game regular season, the humanities student recorded 156 total defensive rebounds, ranking him fourth in the OUA and sixth nationally. He was also the conference leader in blocks with 54 (2nd in U SPORTS). The senior has been nothing short of impressive in his first and final season wearing the Marauder jersey. After a year away from basketball, the 2018 CCAA All-Canadian and OCAA East Division Defensive Player of the Year, came into the season ready to go and was, without question, the defensive cornerstone of the McMaster squad.
Miller will now represent Ontario as the OUA nomination for the U SPORTS Defensive Player of the Year. Winners will be announced at the U SPORTS Awards Ceremony in Halifax, N.S. on Mar. 9.
