Players Granted Special Eligibility

As of Jan. 15, 42 players have been granted special eligibility for the 2026 NFL Draft and 21 underclassmen who have fulfilled their degree requirements with college football eligibility remaining and are also eligible for selection.

Sixteen players applied for special eligibility prior to the newly instituted early “soft” deadline of Jan. 5, which was added to assist players and all-star game organizers in the planning and invitation process. Twenty-six additional players submitted their petitions prior to the traditional deadline of Jan. 14. This list does not include players who played in the FBS National Championship Game on Jan. 19.

Each of the 42 players listed below have met the League’s three-year eligibility rule and have renounced their college football eligibility by submitting written notification to the League office on or before the Jan. 14 deadline. Consequently, they are eligible for selection.
