Tyler Kahmann is adding to his hardware collection.
The Toronto Argonauts receiver was named the CFL's most outstanding rookie on Friday.
Kahmann, 26, has been a quick study, registering 77 catches for 1,092 yards and eight touchdowns.
He was one of four Toronto receivers to crack the 1,000-yard mark — Damonte Coxie and Canadians David Ungerer III and Kevin Mital are the others — a franchise first.
Kahmann is the first Argo to win top rookie honours since cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers — now with the NFL's New York Jets — in 2023.
The Haysville, Kan., native got his opportunity this season with Jake Herslow hampered by injuries. Herslow recorded 59 catches for 756 yards and nine TDs in 2025 but has just 11 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown in four games.
However, Kahmann's stellar rookie season hasn't exactly been seamless.
He joined Toronto in September 2025 but was released the following month. Kahmann re-signed with the Argos last January, then returned to the practice roster May 31.
Kahmann landed on the active roster for Toronto's season-opening 37-30 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. He recorded six catches for 106 yards and a TD and has remained a starter.
Now, he'll play a crucial role in the Argonauts offence as the team hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the East semifinal on Saturday.
