The NFL has officially released the list of draft-eligible underclassmen, giving teams a complete picture of what they’re working with in the 2025 NFL Draft.

There are 70 names on the list, broken down into two groups: players who have met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility by submitting written notification to the league and players who have notified the league that they have fulfilled their degree requirements.

There is no distinction between the two groups of players for the purposes of the 2025 NFL Draft.

You can view the players who have been ruled eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft as underclassmen below.
