Four draft-eligible football players with local connections have been invited to the CFL's Ontario Regional Combine in Toronto on March 21.

Players at three separate regional combines will be tested and measured and take part in skill drills, hoping to earn an invitation to the full CFL combine in Toronto from March 22 to 24. CFL teams use the combine as part of their evaluation process for May's league draft.

That combine will also include top players from some of the international leagues with which the CFL has recently forged working agreements.

Players from western Canada will take part in a regional combine in Edmonton on March 11 and those from Quebec and points east will be in the eastern regional combine March 13.

McMaster defensive back Eric Blake, who went to Westmount, will attend the Ontario combine as will Marauders running back Jordan Lyons, out of Burlington Assumption.

St. Thomas More graduate Osayi Iginuan, a running back at Laurier, also was invited to the Ontario camp. William Omiyi, a defensive end who played in the Ontario Football Conference for both the Hamilton Hurricanes and the old Burlington Braves in 2015, was chosen to attend the Ontario combine after his season with the GTA Grizzlies of the OFC.
