2025 NFL Draft – Underclassmen List

Fifty-five players granted special eligibility for 2025 NFL Draft.

The NFL announced on Thursday the names of 55 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2025 NFL Draft and 15 underclassmen who have fulfilled their degree requirements with college football eligibility remaining and are also eligible for selection in the draft. The 2025 draft is scheduled to be held April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Twenty-five players applied for special eligibility prior to the newly instituted early “soft” deadline of Jan. 6, which was added to assist players and all-star game organizers in the planning and invitation process. Thirty additional players submitted their petitions prior to the traditional deadline of Jan. 15 to apply for special eligibility for the 2025 draft. This list does not include players that are playing in the FBS National Championship Game on Jan. 20. For those players, a “Championship” deadline of Jan. 24 has been added.

Each of the 55 players listed below have met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility by submitting written notification to the league office on or before the Jan. 15 deadline. Consequently, they are eligible for selection:

Additional prospects can enter the NFL Draft 2025 after the CFP title between Notre Dame vs Ohio Stat game Monday Jan. 20th. They have until Jan. 24th to decide if they want to enter the NFL Draft 2025.

2025 NFL Draft Declared Underclassmen

Frank Coyle/ Head scout and Staff

The current class of underclassmen have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft at the Jan. 15 deadline. This initial group is a small class with additions expected after the CFP title game on Jan. 20^th. Both Notre Dame and Ohio State could provide another strong group of athletes for the NFL Draft. CFP players will have until Jan. 24th to enter the draft process.

Recent classes of underclassmen have been small groups due to an extra year of eligibility from COVID-19, in addition to the NIL system of endorsement money which has allowed players to be paid with many transferring in the busy transfer portal. The transfer portal has two periods this year, one concluded in December 2024 and another prior to the NFL Draft in mid-April 2025.

The current class could exceed 90 prospects once all deadlines have been passed and confirmed prospects have been verified. Many prospects from the skilled positions is on the list along with defensive front seven players. The NFL office will provide an official Underclassmen list after all deadlines and summit requests for entry.

Senior Bowl Invitation List 2025

Frank Coyle/ Head Scout

The Reese’s Senior Bowl revealed 120-plus players who have accepted invitations to participate in the 2025 installment of the annual all-star game. Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy joined NFL Network’s Bucky Brooks, Daniel Jeremiah and Rhett Lewis on the Move The Sticks Senior Bowl Roster Reveal show to unveil the participants.

The 120+ rosters allows the Senior Bowl to get more pro prospects in front of scouts over the week long event and yet provide ample healthy players for the late practices and game. The roster is especially deep at offensive line, edge defenders and cornerbacks with several prospects expected to emerge as very high picks after entering the 2024 season prior to this premier event.  Those positions are in high demand in the NFL Draft and we could see prospects moving up the charts quickly over strong week performances. Prospects will have the NFL Combine 2025 following the All-Star game, another important event for improving their NFL Draft 2025 positional rank.

NFL Playoffs – Quarterback Won/Loss Records

Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Leads QB Postseason Records

Frank Coyle/ Staff

The KC Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes attempts to become the first QB in Super Bowl history to win three consecutive titles this postseason. Mahomes has already won three titles over with the current back-to-back titles, setting up the opportunity to set a new NFL record. He has been incredible leading the Chiefs in the postseasons with 15 victories in his short career. His .833 winning percentage ranks the highest of both current and former veteran starters. Last season, his 15 postseason wins passed Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Brett Farve and Ben Rothlisberger. His next win ties him with Joe Montana for 2nd place all-time behind only Tom Brady. Brady has an amazing 35 postseason wins with 7 Super Bowl titles, with most as a New England Patriot. Brady lost two SB games to the NY Giants, both when he left the field with only minutes to go with the Patriots in the lead, only to fall to dramatic performances by the Giant’s Eli Manning in the closing seconds.

College Football Playoff Semi-Finals

Thursday, January 9, 2025

#7 Notre Dame (13-1) vs #6 Penn St (13-2)

7:30 PM  – ESPN   at the Capital One Orange Bowl
    Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fl

Irish Kicks Off Semi-Final Round vs Penn St.

The CFP semi-final games begin tonight with Notre Dame meeting Penn State in the Orange Bowl with Ohio State facing off vs Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night. All four semi-final winners rank in the top ten on defense and feature strong ground games. Each semi-final contestant beat top clubs who were coming off the bye week.

Notre Dame has been directed by QB Riley Leonard who has improved greatly after a slow start and taken control of this balanced attack. He has provided tough leadership with the playmaking ability to make the big throw and savvy scrambling to move the chains. He has shined on the big stage and has the talent to direct this club in the season’s most important matchups. He beat a recent two-time national champion, Georgia 23-10 executing a sound game plan with balance and ball security, despite throwing for less than 100 yards passing. Runners Jeremyah Love and Jadarian Price provide a consistent duo. Love has provided breakaway speed and big plays on the perimeter which has changed games. The Irish defense is a tough unit which has overcome key injuries to CB Morrison and DT Mills. Safety Xavier Watts has been a instinctive playmaker and leader who directs this unit.

Penn State is remarkably similar to the Irish in many key respects. QB Drew Allar has matured over a long starting career. The Nittany Lions features a strong deep ground game which has been their staple for field position and game management. Penn State is only 4-13 vs top ten clubs in the James Franklin era. Runner Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen form a potent tandem out of the old Nittany Lion tradition. TE Tyler Warren has been outstanding and produced an All-American 2024 performance. He has been the catalyst of an offense which moves the chains and produces big plays from a variety of formations. The Penn State legacy of linebackers continues with Abdul Carter who has been a weekly difference maker. He is a little nicked up for the semi-final matchup, though is expected to start. The Irish offense will have to account for him and safety Jaylen Reed if they expected a consistent attack.

Expect Notre Dame to dictate ball control and allow QB Leonard to control the game with play action and his fine scrambling ability. The Irish beat Penn State in an old time matchup.

Notre Dame 23 – Penn State 13

The new 12- team format and system have been a resounding early success. They have been spread out over a three-week period which gave every club at least half a bye between games. This included a bye week for the top four teams from the power conferences.
