ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech tailback Tony Hollings, who led the nation in both rushing and scoring through four games last season before sustaining a serious knee injury, will enter next month's NFL supplemental draft, ESPN.com has learned.
Hollings, who was recently declared academically ineligible for the 2003 season, already has filed the pertinent paperwork with league officials and his application will officially be approved next week.
The supplemental draft -- which typically includes players who have lost their eligibility, dropped out of school or can demonstrate other special circumstances, is scheduled for July 10. The deadline for applying to the supplemental draft is next Thursday afternoon.
A franchise that exercises a pick in the supplemental draft must forfeit its corresponding choice in the 2004 regular draft. Among the highest-graded players in the spring report issued by National Football Scouting, Inc., one of the two combine services to which NFL teams subscribe, Hollings could be a middle-round selection in the supplemental draft if his knee is sound.
