According to sources close to the team, no more Florida Gators juniors are expected to declare for the 2013 NFL Draft.

At least, the Florida football staff does not anticipate any additional players to leave school a year early. The disclaimer here is college kids can change their minds, but if any others declare it would be going against their coaches’ wishes — and advice — according to one of our sources.

If the inside information holds up through the Jan. 15 deadline to declare, then Matt Elam, Sharrif Floyd and Jordan Reed are the only UF juniors declaring for the draft, which means defensive end Dominique Easley and linebacker Jelani Jenkins will return for their senior seasons. Those are the two other Florida juniors who were thought to be considering entering the draft.
