according to GBNReport.com

(10:30 AM): Cardinal D gets three back for next year … Stanford MLB Shane Skov is one of three Cardinals with eligibility remaining who has announced he will be back at school next fall rather than enter the 2013 draft. Skov had been considered to be a top prospect at the position for this year's draft, but was eligible to return to school because he missed much of the 2011 season with a knee injury and really wasn't 100% this past fall. Skov will be joined in the Cardinal defense next year by fellow junior LB Trent Murphy and junior DE Brent Gardner.

Big news right here. Glad to see this guy making the jump, I wonder if that means he's heard from Ertz or Tiololo about them staying at Stanford. As of right now only Sims and Escobar are the only underclassmen TEs to declare if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks.

lol, only a day after it was reported that him and the other DT Easley are staying. I hope this means that Easley is coming out too.

I forgot about Reed too but the senior TE class is pretty poor outside of Fauria the rest are late day 2 maybe even day 3 picks.

Stanford junior TE Zach Ertz has declared for April's NFL Draft.

Ertz is listed as a senior, but Stanford does not account for redshirt seasons until they are necessary. We came into the season believe Ertz's teammate Levine Toilolo was the better prospect, but Ertz quickly changed our mind with his consistent blocking and receiving ability inline or when detached. He and Tyler Eifert will fight it out to be the top tight end selected in April.

I want this guy is the first.

LSU junior RB Michael Ford has declared for April's NFL Draft, according to ESPN's Joe Schad.

We are starting to think something is up with LSU that the rest of us don't know about. Ford's departure brings LSU's total to nearly ten of juniors that have declared for April's Draft. "I have speed, I can catch, I can block and I can run through tackles," Ford said. "All the guys going pro? Our dream is to make it to the NFL." He received a fourth- to sixth-round projection from the NFL.

Just this on CBS Sports.com.

Also James Hurst is a underclassmen from UNC, should be a first rounder if he comes out.
