ANDRE SMITH – TO THE NFL:
Through much prayer and after counseling with his parents and his coach, University of Alabama offensive lineman and All-American Andre Smith today said he has decided to forego his last year of collegiate football eligibility.
The Outland Trophy winner said, “I value deeply the opportunity I’ve had to play for such a prestigious program and to have the support of such a prolific coach in Nick Saban. After much consideration, I am proud to announce my intent to become eligible for the next National Football League draft. Alabama football will always hold a special place in my heart.”
Coach Nick Saban suspended Smith for Friday night's
Sugar Bowl against No. 7 Utah after alleged dealings with a sports
agent.
