The 56-player roster breaks down as follows: nine defensive backs, nine defensive linemen, nine offensive linemen, 10 linebackers, four quarterbacks, six running backs, eight receivers and one kicker/punter.

Of the 56 players named to the cut-down roster, 10 are returning members from last year’s U-18 Team BC that dominated the competition at the FBU International Games defeating Europe and the USA to finish the tournament with a perfect 2-0 record while out-scoring their opponents by a combined 79-32.
