The CFL’s national combine is set for March 26-28 at the University of Toronto.

Below are 30 Canadian prospects who have already been offered a spot in the showcase, though more invitations are still to come.

This list is not comprehensive; I suspect an additional five to ten prospects have received invitations, though I’m still working to confirm who they are. Players added to this list following its original publication will be marked with an asterisk (*).

A small handful of the players below will choose not to attend the event. Some will want to participate in school pro days, while the top prospects — Neville Gallimore, Chase Claypool and Nathan Rourke — could receive invitations to the NFL combine.
