105. If this total becomes official it would top the record of 98 set in 2014. Of those 98 in 2014, 36 weren't drafted. That's a pretty high failure rate for a bunch of kids leaving college early for a shot at the draft and the NFL.
Here are the early entry numbers of the last ten years.
2006: 52
2007: 40
2008: 53
2009: 46
2010: 53
2011: 56
2012: 65
2013: 73
2014: 98
2015: 74
Last year's 74 looks like an anomaly as there was a steady increase in the six years prior to it. And now there's an unofficial 105.
There's even a kicker. Florida State's Roberto Aguayo is among the group. And a punter. Delaware's Eric Enderson. And three Henrys. Alabama running back Derrick Henry, Arkansas tight end Hunter Henry, and Michigan defensive tackle Willie Henry.
Ohio State was hardest hit with nine early departures.
It would probably be good for the players and the colleges if the early entry numbers start a decline over the coming years.
