Top College Players Draft Declaration Tracker

Caleb Williams, Quarterback, USC Trojans

The consensus No.1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Caleb Williams officialy declared after rumors speculating his return for one more year with the Trojans.

He played well throughout the season despite not winning the Heisman Trophy for a second consecutive season. Williams finished 2023 going 266-of-388 (68.6 completion percentage) for 3,633 yards with 30 passing touchdowns to five interceptions. Expect his name to come up very soon, as he is a top prospect and the presumptive number-one pick.

Cooper DeJean, Cornerback, Iowa Hawkeyes

Cooper DeJean could make history if drafted in the first round and start in Week 1. This is because there has not been a white cornerback since Jason Sehorn; Sehorn retired 21 years ago. DeJean could return from a leg injury he suffered in practice in mid-November. It forced him to miss the remainder of the 2023 season.

He was the best defensive player for the Iowa Hawkeyes this season. DeJean had 41 tackles (26 solo, 15 assisted) with two interceptions and five pass deflections. He is also one of the top punt returners in the country with 21 returns for 241 yards with a punt return touchdown this season.

Drake Maye, North Carolina

While the North Carolina quarterback has been the consensus No. 2 pick for the entire season behind USC's Caleb Williams, there is a world where Maye could see a change in his draft stock, with Washington's Michael Penix Jr., and LSU's Jayden Daniels attracting a lot of attention in the second half of the season.

Maye appeared in 12 games for the Tar Heels this season, putting up 3,608 yards, and 24 touchdowns, on 63.3% accuracy. A former five-star recruit, Maye was the 2022 First-Team All-ACC and the 2022 ACC Offensive Player of the Year.

Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State

One of the four Heisman finalists in the 2023 season, Harrison Jr. left his mark on the Ohio State offense. The wideout put up 1,211 yards, 14 touchodwns on 67 catches this season, and bagged the Biletnikoff Award, given to college football's best receiver on the way to the NFL.

Brock Bowers, Georgia

Continuing the tradition of Georgia tight ends getting drafted to the league, Bowers declared for the NFL draft shortly after Georgia's SEC championship game loss against Alabama. Bowers made an immediate impact on the Bulldogs offense putting up 882 yards, and 13 touchdowns in his rookie season.

He followed it up with another successful year with 942 yards and seven touchdowns on the way to Georgia's second national title. Despite an injury filled 2023, Bowers managed to put up 714 yards and six touchdowns for the Bulldogs.

Malik Nabers, LSU

Second place in the Biletnikoff race, Nabers finished one vote behind OSU's Marvin Harrison Jr. The wideout combined with QB Jayden Daniels to create an explosive offense for the Tigers. Nabers finished the season with 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns on 89 receptions.

Jayden Daniels, LSU

The other half of the dynamic LSU duo, QB Jayden Daniels. Daniels capped off a season where he threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns along with another 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground, with a Heisman trophy win.

Daniels finished his college career with 12,749 passing and 3,307 rushing yards, along with 123 total touchdowns.
