These are the very best football players that will be draft eligible in 2009, from the biggest state universities to the smallest colleges. We can include over 300 programs from major schools like California-Berkley, Louisville, and Oregon, to smaller schools like Georgia Southern & Stony Brook and Tennessee State.

These prospects are loosely ranked, as it's still early in the draft process and their draft stock will fluctuate. Check back frequently, as we intend to update these rankings often.
