Six high school players apply for April's NFL Draft
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Six high school players and one from a junior college were on a list the NFL released Friday, showing the underclassmen who have applied for the 2004 NFL Draft in April.
The NFL released the list of nine players who requested eligibility following a court ruling in the Maurice Clarett case that paved the way for underclassmen to enter the draft.
The list of players included running back Joe Banks from New Directions Academy in Baltimore Maryland; defensive tackle Earl Fields from Appling County High School in Baxley, Georgia; quarterback John Belisle from Capac Community High School in Capac, Michigan; running back Ethan Mitchell from Flowers High School in Springdale, Maryland; wide receiver Joe Lee from Gates High School in Tacoma, Washington; offensive tackle Ken Petitt from Redford High School in Detroit, Michigan; and defensive back Ronnie McCrae from Pasadena City College.
Clarett and Southern California wide receiver Mike Williams were the two Division I underclassmen on the list.
The deadline for applying was March 1.
