College football underclassmen have until Friday to declare for the NFL Draft, and Wednesday the first names out of Baton Rouge made it official.

Safety Grant Delpit, receiver Justin Jefferson, linebacker and championship game defensive MVP Patrick Queen, linebacker and leading tackler Jacob Phillips and linemen Lloyd Cushenberry and Saahdiq charles, and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire all declared for the NFL draft.

After the 2012 college football season, LSU had a record 10 players declare for the NFL draft. The Tigers also lose eleven seniors including Joe Burrow, Rashard Lawrence, and Kristian Fulton.
