CFC Ranks: Top LINEBACKERS of the U-20 age group

Over the next few weeks the ‘CFC Scouting Bureau’ (see below) will be identifying the top 18 and 19 year old players eligible to play for the Canadian National Junior team. Today we profile the top high school, CIS, CEGEP and NCAA players that play LINEBACKER.

Name / birth year / province / current team / past teams / FCC / Commitment

CFC Scouting Bureau

The Canada Football Chat (CFC) Scouting Bureau is comprised of CFC scouts, player personnel directors of Canadian National program, selected private scouts, selected CIS coaches, and contributing Provincial Sports Organizations.

Each U20 team list will focus on players that are ‘age eligible’ (1993, 1994 birth years) and are from ‘member provinces’. Currently, Football British Columbia’s membership in Football Canada is “not in good standing” and players from that province are not eligible to represent Canada at the upcoming U20 IFAF Junior Football championship.
