The Canadian Football League has provided a roster update for its upcoming Combine.

After running a 4.72-second forty-yard dash at his recent pro day, Hawaii receiver Nick Cenacle will be traveling to Edmonton to participate in athletic testing.

The six-foot-one, 199-pound target battled knee injuries during his senior season with the Rainbow Warriors in 2025, limiting him to eight games. He caught 28 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns.

Offensive linemen Darius Bell, Jonathan Denis, and Giordano Vaccaro will not participate in testing, choosing only to interview with CFL teams. All three blockers were projected as first-round picks in the 2026 CFL Draft by 3DownNation.

Vaccaro tested at Purdue’s pro day near the start of March, while Bell (East Carolina) and Denis (Louisiana Tech) have pro days later this week.

Michigan State defensive back Devynn Cromwell, Montreal offensive lineman Alassane Diouf, South Alabama linebacker Darius McKenzie, and Wilfrid Laurier offensive lineman Spencer Walsh will not participate in on-field testing or practices due to injury.

Cromwell suffered a lower-body injury partway through testing at Michigan State’s pro day last week. He recorded 18 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, leapt 40.5 inches in the vertical jump, and an eleven-foot, three-inch broad jump.

Southern Mississippi offensive lineman Jez Janvier, Ohio defensive back Pierre Kemeni, Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Shakespeare Louis, and Louisiana defensive back Trae Tomlinson will not participate in testing due to travel. All four prospects have pro days scheduled for March 24 to 26.

This year’s CFL Combine is scheduled for March 27 to 29 in Edmonton, Alta. Testing will occur at the Commonwealth Fieldhouse, followed by practices at Foote Field.

The 2026 CFL Draft will take place on Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
