The Date to Declare for the Draft has Passed: Who Declared?
The deadline to declare for the draft has passed and the NFL released it’s official list of underclassmen who’ve declared Thursday. It’s a new record, with 65 underclassmen declaring for the draft. The previous record had been set last year with 56 declarers.
Some of the bigger name underclassmen that decided to stay back for their senior year include USC’s QB Matt Barkley, Oklahoma’s QB Landry Jones, Wisconsin RB Montee Ball and the sophmore S/CB from LSU Tyronn Mathieu,
I’ve gone through the list and highlighted some of the more prominent players who delcared.
