In an effort to keep all of the underclassmen declarations in one handy, easy-to-find location, we’ve created this page and will update it as the official word comes down that a player is leaving collegiate eligibility on the table and making the early leap to the NFL. The deadline for draft-eligible players to officially file their paperwork with the NFL is January 15.
Last year, a record 65 draft-eligible underclassmen left school early. That shattered the record of 56 set the previous season.
So, without further ado, on to the tracker…

How is all Big 12 running back Joeseph Randle left off the list?
ok nevermind, read it wrong, its only those who have declared.
did you even read the story?? duh
Why do you say “4th year Junior” or “3rd year Sophomore” instead of Redshirt Junior or Redshirt Sophomore? It’s very confusing. You make those players sound like they got held back. They sound like Jethro Bodine, “I graduated 8th grade, only took 3 years!”
WR Justin Hunter has declared.
The “Should Have Declared Last Year” team is headed up by All-Me QB Matt Barkley and All-Team RB Montee Ball. Although Ball did break some amazing records and make a third Rosé Bowl, and some argue he’s a better player.
Also, Notre Dame will be destroyed by Bama.
Knile Davis too ^^
Notre Dame will shock the world on January 7, 2013.
