Floyd is 3 years removed from HS (1 year of prep school) so, with the type of season most expect him to have, he could potentially be a high draft pick in the 2015 Draft.

I thought prep school doesn't count against your eligibility. Technically he's still a true sophomore. So he wouldn't be eligible to be in the draft until 2016. Correct?

Pretty sure it's just 3 years outta HS to be eligible for the NFL draft...

From Wiki...

quote:
Eligibility..

Players who have been out of high school for at least three years are eligible for the NFL draft. The rules do not state that a player must attend college, but virtually all of the players selected in the NFL draft played college football. A year as a redshirt player in college counts toward eligibility even though the player was not allowed to participate in games during that year, therefore players who have completed their redshirt sophomore year can enter the NFL draft. A few players are also selected from other football leagues like the Arena Football League or the Canadian Football League.

NCAA eligibility and NFL Draft eligibility are different things.

Prep school wouldn't count against his 4 years of college eligibility, perhaps.

It also doesn't count against NFL draft eligibility.

In other words, Floyd gone.

Juco guys never ever ever stick around if there is even a hint they can make the league minimum for a year or two on a scout team.
