Fork Union, Virginia (PRWEB) December 04, 2016 -- Fork Union Military Academy’s Post Graduate football program is set to host its annual CanAm Federation Bowl, the country’s top recruited game for mid-year football players, Monday, December 5 at 12 p.m.

Fork Union will be playing against a Canadian National All-Star team and an estimated 200 coaches from across the country will be in attendance, including schools from the ACC and SEC conference.

This year’s Fork Union team is very talented and has been highly recruited, including commitments to Virginia Tech and Virginia. The team has earned over 35 full scholarship offers and more are coming in.

The first memorable meeting between Fork Union and the Canadian National All-Star Team in the 2006-2007 season resulted in Canadian offensive lineman Austin Pasztor enrolling at Fork Union Military Academy the following year. Pasztor went on from Fork Union to an illustrious college career at the University of Virginia and is now in his fourth season as a starting offensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns. The CanAm Federation Bowl has become an annual highlight of Fork Union's football season and has introduced a number of Canadian players to American schools and universities, including Pasztor and current CFL player Jacob Ruby who attended the University of Richmond after graduating from Fork Union.

Below is a schedule of the CanAm Federation Bowl. All media is welcome.
