CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami running back Willis McGahee and wide receiver Andre Johnson will leave school early to enter the NFL draft.
"My unfulfilled dream is to play in the NFL," McGahee said in a statement released by family spokesman Sherman Anderson, The Miami Herald reported for Tuesday editions.
McGahee, a sophomore, had reconstructive knee surgery after tearing two ligaments in his left knee in Miami's 31-24 double overtime loss to Ohio State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He also said in the statement that one of his physicians, Dr. James Andrews, told him he would recover in time to play next season.
Eugene Poole, McGahee's brother, told The Palm Beach Post late Monday that McGahee was fulfilling a "childhood dream" by turning pro.
In his statement, McGahee also said he would not collect on a $2.5 million insurance policy he took out before the national championship game.
