Cameron Judge (born November 29, 1994) is a Canadian professional football linebacker for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was named a CFL All-Star in 2022 and was named the CFL's West Division Most Outstanding Player in 2019.
Judge was born on November 29, 1994, in Montreal, Quebec, to actor Christopher Judge and Margaret Judge, a former model.[1][2] The family moved from Montreal (where Christopher Judge had been working on a television show) to Los Angeles when Judge was three months old. When Judge was three years old, the family moved to British Columbia and split their time living between Vancouver and Victoria. It was during his time in Vancouver, that Judge developed an interest in football and started playing minor football. When Judge was twelve years old, the family moved back to California, primarily to give Judge and his older brother, Christopher, a better environment to develop their football skills.[3]
After one year as a running back and linebacker for the junior varsity team, Judge became a three-year varsity starter at linebacker for Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, California, under the coaching of Bill Redell and legendary NFL linebacker Clay Matthews Jr. Judge was rated a 4-star recruit and a top five linebacker on the West Coast.[4]
College career
Judge accepted a scholarship offer from UCLA where he played college football for the team from 2013 to 2016 and was a team co-captain in 2015.[5][6] He and other members of the defensive unit for UCLA were considered the best group of players in the linebacker position in the Pac-12 Conference.[7] During his time there Judge played both inside and outside linebacker positions, and was a special teams captain for the Pac-12 Conference team.[6][8][9] He played in 47 games where he had 30 solo tackles, 16 assisted tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble.[10]
