A total of four CJFL players have been invited to the CFL Invitational Combine on February 28th in Waterloo, Ontario in hopes of winning an invitation to the national Combine scheduled from March. 19-23 in Regina. 

The Invitational Combine will test the player’s athletic skills including speed, power, strength and agility under the watchful eye of CFL coaches and scouts. 

Running back LJ Dyer was a First Team All-Canadian in 2023 rushing for 1158 yards on 136 carries and scored nine touchdowns for his hometown London Beefeaters. This past season he galloped 811 yards, averaging over six yards a carry and scored 10 touchdowns. 

Defensive back Gaddy Kazadi, also from London Ontario won a Canadian Bowl title with the St. Clair Saints in 2024 after being named a First Team All-Canadian.  He was a lock down defensive back that quarterbacks would shy away from as he intercepted three passes, had 14 solo tackles, blocked two kicks, knocked down three passes and recovered a fumble.

Receiver Rylan Sokul played for the Regina Thunder and was a massive target in their passing game being named a CJFL First Team All-Canadian in 2021 and 2022.  In those two regular seasons he combined to haul in 82 receptions for 1290 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Receiver CJ Vincent helped the Westshore Rebels win the BC Conference Cullen Cup in 2023 averaging 18.8 yards a reception on 27 catches and 507 yards and two touchdowns.   During the Canadian Bowl he caught eight passes for 77 yards. 

Receiver Noah Avery built personal confidence in 2022 as a member of the Ottawa Sooners and was an immediate sponge learning everything he needed to know.  His personal growth paid off as he graduated from the Sooners program and attended the University of Ottawa.  He is now on his way to the CFL Invitational Combine!

All five players have graduated from the CJFL but are looking to continue their careers at the next level and turn pro.
