We can try and keep this list up to date as new announcements come out through January 2020.

Utah:
DB Jaylon Johnson - Of the Utes’ eight All-Pac-12 players (including seven seniors), Johnson is expected to be the highest-draft athlete. Some early projections have him being taken late in the first round.

Michigan State:

Arizona State:
RB Eno Benjamin - During his sophomore season, broke Arizona State's single-season rushing record with 1,642 yards and 16 touchdowns. He went on to tally 1,083 yards and 10 TDs this season and has been named a first-team All-Pac-12 Conference selection both years.

Minnesota:

Utah State:
QB Jordan Love - Love had a breakout sophomore year in 2018 when he threw for 3,567 yards with 32 TDs and six interceptions. As a junior, he had 3,085 yards with 17 touchdowns.

LB David Woodward - Woodward suffered a season-ending injury on Oct. 19. Despite not having played since then, he still leads the Aggies with 93 tackles and four forced fumbles. His best game was the season opener against Wake Forest when he recorded 24 tackles, the most in the Football Bowl Subdivision this season. Woodward finishes his Utah State career with 256 tackles, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He also recored 8 sacks and 20.5 tackles for loss in his time with the Aggies.

Missouri:
HC Barry Odom - Fired after 4 seasons

DT Jordan Elliott - The redshirt junior announced his plans just a day after Odom was fired as head coach. He led Missouri with 8.5 tackles for loss in 2019.

TE Albert Okwuegbunam - Okwuegbunam rebounded from shoulder surgery to return to the Tigers for one more season. As a redshirt freshman, he caught 11 touchdown passes before his production dropped to 43 catches for 466 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore. He finished this season with 26 catches for 306 yards and six touchdowns, which are all career-lows.

OL Trystan Castillo - Castillo is the third Tiger to announce his decision to enter the draft after the firing of coach Barry Odom. He had another year of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-4 center was a 2017 SEC All-Freshman team member.
