With the key CFP games in the process and the semi-finals now set for Jan. 8\/9, the declaration date is here today for the transfer portal with many top draft selections expected to make decisions on turning pro. OT Spencer Fano of Utah sat out his team’s bowl game after an excellent 2025 performance. He ranks in the top ten selections currently in our new Top 150 pro prospect rankings in DraftInsiders.com current\u00a0 late December Newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Underclassmen Dates<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0 With the NFL allowing draft-eligible underclassmen to participate in college all-star games, an early deadline of Jan. 5 gives players an opportunity to submit their petitions for special eligibility to the league sooner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The traditional deadline for underclassmen to submit a petition to the league is Jan. 14. <\/strong>\u00a0A deadline of Jan. 23 is exclusively for underclassmen on teams participating in the College Football Playoff National Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The upcoming NFL Draft will attract another strong group of underclassmen. Each year a high number of underclassmen decided to turn pro with 100 prospects annually entering the NFL ranks. With the advent of the NIL and players moving easily in the transfer portal former record number of underclassmen has been safe recently. The deadline period approaches between Jan 5th<\/sup> and Jan. 23rd. Expect many new additions here over the next few days. This draft class will be a very heavy offensive talent group from both the underclassmen and senior classes.<\/p>\n

In addition, to the large number of underclassmen entering the pro ranks, many players opted out of their bowl game to prepare for the demanding NFL Draft postseason preparation. Both the All-star weeks and NFL Combine along with the critical pro day events become lasting impressions for a prospects final draft grade. These players have increased in recent years and this is a recent disturbing development with key players ending their college careers prior to their team\u2019s most important postseason game on the agenda.<\/p>\n
