The deadline to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft is over
• 1 min read
Wednesday was the final day for prospects to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, so another piece to the puzzle is now known. Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. was the last notable name to throw his name into the pool, but there were many other notable underclassmen before him.
Here are some of most notable to make their intentions known:
- Texas OT Kelvin Banks Jr.
- Missouri WR Luther Burden III
- LSU OT Will Campbell
- Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter
- Texas QB Quinn Ewers
- Michigan DT Mason Graham
- Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter Jr.
- Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty
- Michigan CB Will Johnson
- Michigan TE Colston Loveland
- Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan
- Alabama QB Jalen Milroe
- Georgia S Malaki Starks
- George LB Jalon Walker
- Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams
Several of those prospects will have an opportunity to compete at the Reese’s Senior Bowl later this month. Last year, the league began allowing underclassmen to compete in that week of practice leading up to a game for the first time in history.
Without further ado, let’s kick this off!
