Two players - Florida State WR Corey Surrency and Kentucky DE Jeremy Jarmon - have officially declared for the supplemental draft to be held on July 16. The deadline for applications is July 6.

Surrency encountered eligibility issues after transferring from El Camino College because of his age. By NCAA bylaws, any player older than 21 who participates in an organized sports competition prior to initial full-time enrollment in a collegiate institution will have have that participation count as one year of varsity competition. Because Surrency played in a semipro league after turning 21, his eligibility expired following last season.

Jarmon tested positive for a banned substance in a random NCAA drug test, invoking a one-year suspension. He has already graduated with a degree in political science and has said the substance came from an over-the-counter dietary supplement that he did not know was illegal.

Surrency is a long strider who stands at an estimated 6-5, 220 pounds, is overaged and comes with character questions. He is not expected to be drafted in the silent-bid draft, which will be conducted by e-mail.

Jarmon could warrant more considerable interest, standing a verified 6-3, 278 pounds and having clocked in the mid-to-high 4.7s. He has 17½ career sacks in 31 career starts, and his character is regarded highly despite the suspension.
