A record number of college football players will bypass their remaining years of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.
The 135 players forgoing eligibility surpasses the 119 from last year. The NFL released the official list on Friday. There are 103 underclassmen eligible for the April 25-27 draft. Another 32 players have graduated but still have college eligibility.
Alabama has seven players among the 135, the most of any school. Oklahoma had the most of area schools with five. Baylor, TCU and SMU all made it through unscathed.
The 103 underclassmen who have met the NFL's three-year eligibility rule and renounced their remaining eligibility to enter the draft are three short of last year's record 106.
