Curtis Wester (May 7, 1951 – May 8, 1995) was a guard in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Wester played college football at East Texas State where he was selected by the Associated Press as a first-team guard on the 1972 Little All-America college football team.[1] He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns of the NFL.[2] He came to Canada in 1974 and played with the BC Lions for three seasons, his best year being 1974, when he was an all-star and won the DeMarco-Becket Memorial Trophy as best lineman in the West Division (and was runner-up for the CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award). He played 33 regular season games for the Leos.[3] He also played one season, 1979, with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
In 1990, he was elected to the Texas A&M-Commerce (East Texas State) Athletic Hall of Fame.[4]
