Comeau named Acadia athlete of the week

Riley Comeau (football) has been named the Acadia athlete of the week for the period ending August 24 following his standout performance in the Axemen’s AUS season opener.

Comeau, a fifth-year kinesiology student from Centreville, N.S., and Acadia’s 2024-25 Athenaeum Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year, picked up where he left off last season when he finished second in the country in tackles per game. In the Axemen’s opening week of conference play, the linebacker led Acadia in tackles and currently ranks second in both the AUS and U SPORTS. He recorded 8.5 total tackles, including six solo and five assisted.

He and the Axemen will now return home this weekend to host StFX on Saturday at Raymond Field.
