The long held theory that Canadian football is not on par with American football is starting to pivot. Each year more and more high school talent from up north is making their way south to play college ball in the U.S. Another recruit helping open the floodgates is wide receiver Chase Claypool.

Colleges south of the Canadian border are very familiar with Claypool. The 6-foot-5, 214-pound receiver reports 14 scholarship offers with teams like Oregon, Rutgers, Michigan, Arizona, Tennessee, Washington and Nebraska seeking the red zone target on their squad at the next level.
