Canadafootballchat.com (CFC) and TSN are ready to bring the top high school football talent in Canada to the national stage for the fourth edition of the CFC Prospect Game.

The CFC Prospect Game, featuring 75 of the top Canadian high school prospects, is taking place at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa on Friday, May 31 at 11:15 a.m. EST.

CFL on TSN panelists Davis Sanchez and Milt Stegall will return for round two as special guest head coaches after Team Sanchez defeated Team Stegall at last year’s event.

The selection process included a cross-country tour visiting ten cities featuring a professional combine setting including 40 yard dash, shuttle, vertical and broad jump events.

“We are excited to watch these players compete in this year’s game. We have had some great players participate in past games including Mississippi State’s Albert Reece IV, Ohio QB Callum Wither, Wisconsin’s Rapheal Dunn, and Eastern Washington’s Nolan Ulm. That said, this roster is the deepest of the four years." said Lee Barette, President of CanadaFootballChat.com.

CFL on TSN analyst Duane Forde added that these rosters represent an invitation to Canadians to get to know this country’s future football stars before they become household names.

"The CFC Prospect Game is all about 'opportunity'. It's an opportunity for the top high school players in Canada to go head-to-head with their peers from across the country, and it's an opportunity for Canadian football fans to get a look at the next Jevon Holland, Mathieu Betts, Chase Brown, Brady Oliveira, Josh Palmer, or Nathan Rourke before the rest of the world gets to know who they are. For hardcore fans of Canadian football, and fans of Canadians in football, this game is a ‘must see’ event."
