Former Northern Arizona punter/kicker Robbie Dehaze has signed with the Toronto Argonauts Football Club.

Dehaze, a native of Sherwood, Ore., was named a first-team All-American by the AFCA at kicker and Walter Camp Foundation at punter. He was also a second-team All-America selection by the Associated Press and The Sports Network at punter and was named to the College Sporting News Fabulous 50 team at punter. He made 56-for-74 field goal attempts (75.7 percent) and his career field goal total was the sixth-best total in Big Sky history and tied for 16th in NCAA history. Dehaze ranked second in the nation in punting (45.1) and tied for fourth in field goals per game (1.45), the only player in the country to rank among the top 10 in both categories.

Shouldn't this be under "Other Sports?"

Congrats to the kid. I love kickers like this because they save a roster spot that can be used to address a particular need. Even better when the kicker is also the QB since that puts doubt in the defense on every play, especially if he's in the Gun.

Back on topic. I'm sure he'll have fun in Canada. He'll certainly get to play more often what with punting on third down and kicking rouges.
