Oklahoma, with six players on the list, is losing the most. Alabama, Florida, and Ohio State all have five players on the list, including Oakland A’s prospect Kyler Murray, who declared for the draft earlier this week. Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, and Texas A&M have four players, too.
The 135 players forgoing eligibility is a record that surpasses the 119 total from 2018. Along with the 103 underclassmen eligible for the draft in April, another 32 players have graduated but still have college eligibility. Some of those bigger names include Iowa State WR Hakeen Butler, Clemson DL Clelin Ferrell, Duke QB Daniel Jones, and Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson
SB Nation’s latest mock draft has Murray going No. 7 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Ohio State DE Nick Bosa still No. 1 overall to the Arizona Cardinals.
