According to The National Football Post, Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree will enter April’s NFL draft.
Next Level Scouting, Inc. is reporting that Texas Tech red-shirt sophomore wide receiver Michael Crabtree has informed several staff members of his intention to enter this year’s draft following the team’s Cotton Bowl loss to Mississippi. According to those close to the situation he should make his intentions known at an on-campus press conference sometime this week, but has already started to interview agents and put together a support staff for the purpose of training for the NFL Combine and creating PR and marketing opportunities for him.
Meanwhile, a second Texas Tech underclassman, junior offensive guard Brandon Carter, is waiting to see what type of grade he receives back from the NFL Advisory Committee before making a final decision, but is leaning towards entering the draft as long as they project him as a mid-round type selection.
Not a total shock, but it would have been fun to watch Crabtree play in Tech’s offense for another season. He’s easily the most talented receiver in college football and will surely be a top 5 pick if he does enter the draft.
