I know there's been a lot of talk about him recently, just wanted to make sure you all knew that he WILL be in the draft this year.

Hmmm...wonder where he'll go come draft time. Probably a late 1st, early 2nd rounder.

Out of morbid curiosity, what is his recorded speed?

he runs around a 4.7.. that is unofficial until the combine.

he sounds well spoken.. if you take that as an indication of intelligence.

"I feel the time and opportunity are right for me now," said the 6-4, 285-pound Udeze. "The indications I've received are that I'll be one of the top defensive linemen in the NFL draft. My performance in the Rose Bowl put everything into place and solidified my decision. I feel like I'm leaving on a positive note, coming off a great season for our team and for me. I'm healthy and ready to start training for the NFL combine.

"It really hurts me to leave. I'm extremely thankful for the support I received from everyone in the Trojan Family, from the coaches and players to the fans. I've had an unbelievably wonderful experience at USC. But I feel this is the best decision for me now."

6-4 285 and 4.7 and to top it off, he threw around the Michigan offensive line during the Rose Bowl. Wow.

Comon TD lets see what you got... Udeze is going to be gooood.

He's actually a pretty neat story. He showed up his freshman year weighing 325 plus. He was fat and out of shape, he couldn't make it through a college practice. he worked very hard to become the player he is now.

[socalfan]

So he isn't one of those guys that can't keep on the weight that they add for the combine too.

[Ingtar33]

now he's declared...

he'll be the 2nd DE in the draft taken... likely picked anywhere from 13-28... though with a good combine he could push himself into the top 15...
