Damon Hazelton, WR
Hazelton started his college career at Ball State before transferring to Virginia Tech for his last two years of eligibility. In his career, he has 132 receptions for 1,813 yards and 19 touchdowns. This season, Hazelton has 30 catches for 506 yards and seven touchdowns.
He has decent size for an NFL wide receiver at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds. Hazelton could be drafted in the late rounds, but it is a very deep wide receiver class.
Projected Draft Range: Sixth round-undrafted free agent
Reggie Floyd, S
Floyd has made an impact for three years on Virginia Tech’s defense. The senior has 214 total tackles, five interceptions and nine passes defended in his career. For 2019, Floyd has 61 total tackles, no interceptions and seven passes defended.
At 6-foot and 222 pounds, Floyd is big enough to be an NFL safety. Like Hazelton, Floyd is a candidate to be selected in the late rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Sixth round-undrafted free agent
Other notable draft-eligible players: TE Chris Cunningham, TE Dalton Keene, OT Silas Dzansi, LB Rayshad Ashby, CB Caleb Farley, S Divine Deablo
Logan Stenberg, OG/C
After redshirting his first year on campus, Stenberg has been an integral part of a solid offensive line at Kentucky. He has been a starter since his sophomore season and has helped bring Kentucky’s program to new heights.
At 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds, Stenberg has great size for an interior lineman in the NFL. Stenberg should be drafted in the middle rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Fourth round-sixth round

Lynn Bowden, WR
Bowden did a little bit of everything in his career at Kentucky. In his career, he has 1,297 rushing yards, 1,303 receiving yards and 422 passing yards. This season, Bowden has played receiver and quarterback with 1,235 rushing yards, 348 receiving yards and 330 passing yards.
He is 6-foot-1 and 199 pounds, which is decent size for a wide receiver. Bowden’s versatility and playmaking, he also returned kicks and punts, will make him a desirable draft prospect.
