Associated Press

Wednesday, January 6, 2010
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida All-American tight end Aaron Hernandez is leaving school early and entering the NFL draft. Hernandez made his announcement Wednesday. He is the second Florida underclassman to make the jump to the NFL, joining cornerback Joe Haden. Several more could join them, including defensive end Carlos Dunlap and offensive linemen Mike and Maurkice Pouncey. Hernandez had a team-high 68 receptions for 850 yards and five touchdowns this season.

Dunlap, The pouncy twins - Spikes (obviously) are the first that I know are gone.


So that's 3 defensive starters to replace and 2 on the Oline as of now.

edit: And Wright

So that's 4 defensive starters, Hernandez and 2 on the Oline.

None of them easy to replace.

Pretty sure he did.
It's likely, but not official, as far as I know.

Hernandez second Gator to turn pro - SEC Blog - ESPN

Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez has followed Joe Haden's lead and announced Wednesday that he's declaring for the NFL draft.

Haden, the Gators' All-America cornerback, had announced earlier this week that he's turning pro.

Defensive end Carlos Dunlap is also expected to come out, while center Maurkice Pouncey and guard Mike Pouncey are also strongly considering it. Two others to watch are safeties Major Wright and Ahmad Black.
Also, Brandon Spikes is a senior, so while he belongs in the "2010 NFL Draft" discussion, it's not as an early entrant.
