 Ohio St. DE Vernon Gholston To Enter NFL Draft
Ohio State DE Gholston going pro Quote:
Defensive end Vernon Gholston, who helped lead Ohio State to the BCS title game, is leaving early for the NFL.
The Big Ten defensive lineman of the year and second-team All-American threw his name into the draft Friday, along with Louisville linebacker Lamar Myles and Oregon's Jonathan Stewart, who joins several other top tailbacks to declare early.
"As a son and as a man, it is my duty to serve and support my family to the best of my abilities," Gholston said in a statement. "My childhood dream was, and still is, to one day be fortunate enough to do just that. I feel that time has come."
Many draft experts project Gholston as a first- or second-round selection, after surpassing Mike Vrabel's single-season school record with 14 sacks.
The Buckeyes' chances of reaching a third consecutive title game may have taken a hit when Gholston announced his decision, but coach Jim Tressel did get some good news when receiver Brian Robiskie and cornerback Malcolm Jenkins said they would return to Columbus.
