Oklahoma Sooners defensive end Neville Gallimore of St. Catherines, Ont., has been the number one ranked prospect for the fall, winter, and spring edition of the rankings. Notre Dame receiver Chase Claypool of Abbotsford, B.C. is still ranked second.
No members of the Manitoba Bisons are among the top-20 rated prospects.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers don’t have a selection in the first round of the CFL Draft. They gave up their first-rounder as part of the trade to acquire quarterback Zach Collaros, and won’t have a selection until the 18th pick.
The 2020 CFL Draft is scheduled for April 30.
