1. Texas (38)
Texas was the runaway leader and did so in style with six first round picks: Kelvin Banks Jr., Jahdae Barron, Matthew Golden, Donovan Jackson, Ashton Jeanty and Cam Ward. Numerous other college stars were drafted in the following rounds, including Nic Scourton, Shemar Turner, Andrew Mukuba, Landon Jackson, Princely Umanmielen, Jalen Milroe, Billy Bowman Jr., Shedeur Sanders, Ollie Gordon, Damien Martinez and Quinn Ewers.
2. Florida (26)
Florida’s numbers have been skewed a bit in recent years because of IMG Academy, which many times recruits players from across the country for their final season or two. That was again the case in 2025 when Tyler Booker and Jihaad Campbell, who are both from New Jersey, were both drafted in the first round. Shemar Stewart was also selected in the first round, while other notables like Mason Taylor, Jayden Higgins, RJ Harvey and Ashton Gillotte went in later rounds.

Some of the other players of note to get drafted included Tate Ratledge, Woody Marks, Kyle Kennard, Chris Paul Jr., Phil Mafah and Jalen Royals.

Three first-round picks were included in the 16 overall players, with Mason Graham, Tetairoa McMillan and Josh Simmons leading the way.
