Layomi Ojutalayo. 🙌

East-West Bowl 2025 to the 2026 CFL National Combine:
40-yard dash: 4.88 ➡️ 4.58
3-cone: 7.40 ➡️ 6.97
Broad jump: 10'6" ➡️ 10'7⅞"
Bench: 12 ➡️ 14

The biggest improvement from East-West to the National Combine in his class, and none of it was given to him. Lay earned every tenth of a second. He showed up, did the work, and trusted the process when it would have been easier not to.

Then he took that same work ethic straight to the pros. As a Canadian rookie with the Calgary Stampeders, he led the entire CFL in special teams tackles with 26, four more than anyone else in the league, and was named Calgary's Most Outstanding Rookie.

That is not talent alone. That is a guy who outworks people at every level he gets to.

Proud of you brother, and this is only year one. 🔥

Swipe to hear it in his own words. 👉

Over a decade of results. Another year, even more athletes making the jump. 🙌

More CFL Combine athletes have trained here than anywhere else in the country, and this year even more of them made the jump to the pros. 🔥

The numbers speak for themselves, consistent performances, measurable improvement, and athletes who show up when it matters most.

We've built a system that works because it's been proven by the athletes who've come through it. Every drill, every detail, every result, earned through preparation. A new class came through this year and proved it again.

Over the last 15 years, nobody in Canada has put more athletes into the pros.

It's that time of year again. Combine season is right around the corner and with the new combine dates, and early start is more imperative then ever

The next Combine starts now! 😤

DM "COMBINE" to apply.

Supposedly you can only tag 20 ppl so some tags are on the post... 🤦‍♂️

Also for my remote guys, or anyone I may have missed, I appreciate you all and loved working with everyone of ya. Just a lot of names and pics to organize 😂

Huge shout out to our other combine guys too. Unfortunately there is not enough room on this page for everyone, this is not even half of them. You put in the same work, you made your numbers jump, and not everyone gets the opportunity in professional football. We are proud of every one of our athletes.

Finally... 🎓

I just finished my PhD in neurophysiology 🧠, and after 10 years of post-secondary education, I think I'm finally done... probably 😂.

The last 4 years were definitely a grind, but I learned a lot, made great friends, and created some amazing memories that I will cherish!

Despite all my bitching and complaining over the years, I wouldn't change a thing. In the same breath, I'm definitely excited for what is coming next.

Before I put the nail in this coffin though, I want to thank everyone who helped me get through this. My parents, Pat Lawler and Gary Collins (slide 5); my supervisor, Dr. Jayne Kalmar (slides 1, 12, 13, 14); my advisory committee; all my lab mates over the years, with a special shoutout to Ryan Weller‼️and Sydney Anderson who went above and beyond to always lend a hand🙏; my friends; and even all my athletes who helped train around my sporadic schedule 🏋️‍♂️. Oh... and my dogs who were always around to distract me when I needed to prepare (slide 3) 😂

I honestly couldn't have done it without all of you, and I really do appreciate everyone who has reached out to congratulate me!

Thank you
Dr. Collins Out! ✌️

Wishing the best of luck to all our athletes heading off to CFL Training Camps. 👏

Success at this level isn't an accident. We’ve seen firsthand the relentless work ethic and the commitment you’ve brought to every single session. 😤

You’ve stayed disciplined, kept your heads down, and put in the work required to compete at the professional level. Can't wait to watch you ball out 🙌

Now it’s time to let that mindset take over. Go out there, stay locked in, and show them exactly what that dedication looks like on the field.

Go get it. 👀

To all our current and past athletes even if I don't have any photos in the archives 😂:

Setting the standard. 😤

Huge congratulations to these four for seeing their names called in the 2026 CFL Draft!

We’ve seen the hours in the gym, the extra reps, and the relentless discipline it took to reach this moment. Seeing all that hard work finally pay off is one of my favorite parts of this job.

I’m incredibly proud of these men and can't wait to watch you ball out. The league is getting four absolute gems. 💎

The 2026 Class:

Layomi Ojutalayo - .ojutalayo - (Pick 26)
Tyriq Quayson - - (Pick 49)

Preparation isn’t just about the hours in the gym, it’s about leaving no room for doubt.

These athletes have pushed through every session, refined every detail, and checked every box.

Tomorrow isn’t about luck; it’s about ex*****on. I’ve seen the work ethic firsthand, and I couldn't be more proud to see them showcase it on the national stage.
Go get what’s yours! 😤💨

Good luck 🙌ojutalayo

Huge day for the "regional boys" at the 2026 CFL Invitational. We’re leaving with Top 5 finishes across the board. 👏

The hard work paid off, with all our guys killing expectations. I'm beyond proud of all of these young men, and can't wait to see what's next 🫡

The gap between high school and the next level just got smaller. 😤

We are officially opening registration for our U14, U16, and U18 Elite Football Prep program at Collins Athletic Performance.

This is an 8-week intensive block designed for the most dedicated athletes in the region. The program is led by Dr. Jesse Collins (PhD in Neurophysiology), featuring years of experience as a Strength & Conditioning coach at the University level.

What to expect:

Pro Mentorship: Coached directly by current CFL Professional Athletes.
Elite Programming: Advanced methodology focusing on Velocity Based Training (VBT), ballistics, and running mechanics.
The Standard: We train athletes, not powerlifters. We are looking for highly dedicated individuals ready to train at a collegiate standard.

We are cultivating an elite environment. If you are serious about your development and want to train where excellence is the only option, this is for you.

🔗 HOW TO APPLY: Fill out the questionnaire at the "CAP Elite Football Prep" link in our bio to see if you're eligible and to secure your spot. Once groups are finalized, we will reach out to confirm your selection.

Start date: Will be finalized as March 9th or 16th so fill out the questionnaire ASAP.

Don’t just watch them on TV; train beside them.

Gordan Lam earned every bit of his transformation. 💪🏽

He put in a full year of consistent work, never missed a session, and stayed locked in on what he wanted to improve.

Going from 187 lbs and a 4.97 to 205 lbs and a 4.80 wasn’t an accident, it was the result of showing up, day after day, with real intent. 📈🏃🏽‍♂️💨

Proud of this guy and what he has become. 🙏
