University of Alberta running back Opemipo Oshinubi posted the fastest forty-yard dash at the 2025 CFL Combine with a time of 4.41 seconds.

Oshinubi was the fastest player at the Invitational Combine in Waterloo earlier this month, booking his ticket to Regina with a 4.45-second forty. The six-foot, 219-pound back took full advantage of the promotion by improving his time.

The Calgary, Alta. native has primarily been a backup for the Golden Bears behind 2024 fourth-round pick Matthew Peterson. In 29 games, he has run for 887 yards and six touchdowns on 129 attempts while making 20 catches for 143 yards and another score.

Other players finishing in the top five of the event were Wilfrid Laurier receiver Ethan Jordan (4.44), Ottawa defensive back Eric Cumberbatch (4.51), Alberta receiver Kolby Hurford (4.51), Regina defensive back Dolani Robinson (4.52), and Saskatchewan receiver Daniel Wiebe (4.52).

The all-time forty-yard dash record for the CFL Combine was set by Bishop’s running back Steven Turner in 2010 at 4.31 seconds, followed by Regina defensive back Tevaughn Campbell in 2015 (4.36), Bishop’s running back Jamall Lee in 2009 (4.39), and Western receiver Shaquille Johnson in 2016 (4.39). Oshinubi’s time is tied for fifth-best in history with Laval receiver Jean-Frederic Tremblay in 2004 and UNLV running back Shaq Murray-Lawrence in 2015.

The top performers at the 2024 CFL Combine in Winnipeg were McGill defensive back Ben Labrosse and Delaware State running back Michael Chris-Ike with a time of 4.51 seconds. Labrosse was selected fourth overall by the Calgary Stampeders, while Chris-Ike went in the second round to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
