The accolades keep rolling in for Deontay (D.J.) Smith.

The UPEI guard was named the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) rookie of the year Wednesday.

He is the first UPEI men’s basketball player ever to receive the honour and only the second from the conference. Shawn Plancke was named the nation’s top rookie in 1992-93 while playing at Dalhousie.
