The nfl rules are 3 years from high school. So he could leave for the nfl.
But the nfl can change their guidelines at any time. They can make it 1 year or 4 years. It is up to what their owners want (and can get through the players union)


This is the right answer.

On the same subject, the NCAA has already announced an additional year of eligibility for all Spring sport athletes and they would do the same for Fall should that happen.

Will be interesting how this effects most sports recruiting for Spring sports, if they dont have as many slots to fill because of 5th years staying on.

Big question is how prepared are guys who have basically been forced to take a year off from a team regimented conditioning program, let alone not having been able to hit anyone for a year. Unlike baseball where I think guys like Hancock and Wilcox are done at UGA, I think you see a number of NFL eligible guys return simply because they’re out of practice

IMO, there will likely be a one year waiving of scholarship limits for the seniors/grad transfers/etc.
