Michigan DT in draft; Toledo RB out … With just 4 days to go until the deadline for underclassmen to file paperwork with the NFL in order to be eligible for the 2016 draft, Michigan DT Willie Henry has become the latest junior to decide to throw his hat into the ring. While not exactly a household name, the 6-3, 310-pound Henry, who had something of a breakout year this past fall when he posted 34 tackles, including 6.5 sacks, could be something of a late-round sleeper. Meanwhile, Toledo junior RB Kareem Hunt, one of the most productive backs in the country this season, has reportedly decided to return to school for his senior campaign. And with those 4 days still to go, by our unofficial count, 97 juniors and redshirt sophomores have already indicated in one way or another that they will be entering this year’s draft; for the record, that’s well above last year’s total of 78 and well within reach of the all-time high of 104 in 2014.
