The 22-year-old Calgarian, who left Washington State University this year, has been told by the Canadian Football League he will be available in the league’s annual supplemental draft, slated for the week following the May 2 Canadian college draft.
Forzani, a receiver, isn’t eligible for the main draft because he only played a year of NCAA football, but players have the option of applying to the league to enter the supplemental draft, and Forzani’s application was approved this month.
The Dr. E.P. Scarlett grad, who didn’t play high school football, would almost surely have been a first-round pick in the main draft, and will certainly attract interest in the supplemental draft, a system under which teams can pick a player by surrendering a draft pick in the following year’s talent-grab.
Forzani has deep ties to the Stampeder organization.
His dad, Tom, was a receiving star in Calgary, and uncle John played for the Stamps and is part of the Stampeders ownership group.
