The top college football players in the country have until January 15 when the deadline to declare for the 2024 NFL Draft will come and pass. Players must have been three years removed from high school to be eligible for teams to draft them.
Other top players may also decide to return to school or enter the transfer portal to increase their chances at improving their draft stock.
Here is a list of all the players that have either declared for the draft, returned to school, or transferred to another school. If they declared and are in a college all-star game they will have that designated as well. Players who have transferred will also have their old school as well as their new school listed.

Where are you getting your information that Caleb Williams has declared?
Right now it’s based on expectations and projected draft capital. If he goes back to school, he’ll be removed.
