Texas junior quarterback Vince Young plans to enter the NFL draft and forgo his final year of college, a close family friend said today. Young plans to make the announcement this afternoon at a press conference in Austin.
"He has the blessing of God, the pastor and his family," said Yolanda Lezine, Young's godmother and the family media's spokeswoman. "It's his decision. Everybody is going to support him a 110 percent."
Young capped off his career Wednesday night, rallying the Longhorns from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat two-time defending national champion Southern California, 41-38, in the Rose Bowl.
The Madison product will hire Bus Cook as his agent. Cook is also the agent for Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair, Young's mentor, and Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

Well, I don't know about Texas fans, OSU fans, or USC fans. I'm an LSU fan who picked the Longhorns to win a month ago. And I'm picking again. Ohio State will be #1 when the polls come out in August.
As much as I dislike their arrogance, there's no way OSU is beating UM in engineering.
thank you :)
LOL
actually right now they are....
depends on the publication but if OSU isn't ahead, then UM is by one or two spots generally....
I was just as surprised to find out.
I had figured on going to Wright State University to finish my degree, but I am leaning towards OSU now.
Here are the Newsweek rankings... Notice that my alma mater is tied for #6 :-)

Mike...there is an old saying that you need to be aware of: It is better to look stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Jeff...thanks...Mike did you notice who was tied for # 4...
I;m aware of that.
I don't care.
yeah I noticed.
That isn't the list I looked at :)
That one has OSU at #26.
Still good if you ask me for a "cow college" as Michigan calls it.
Mike...you need to quit drinking on Sunday's and then getting on FR...if you aren't drinking...you probably need some professional help!!
I wish I were as cool as you are.....
for a trashman, you are pretty cool ya know?
Mike...you have all the earmarks of being a wanabee....As a Vietnam Veteran I have met lots of folks who claim to be Vietnam Vets...who turned out to be fakes....are you the forerunner of those...claiming to be a Iraq vet....from you posts you are suspect!!
Hey guys...
apparently have the "earmarks" of someone who is lying about my time in Iraq.
I KNEW someone would call me on that this year!! and I only lasted until the 8th of January. Wow. Now I have to come up with a new prediction :)
what was that about my being in Iraq?
Don't run away now.....
OK....have you been in Iraq as a member of the Military??
no and I NEVER claimed to be.
Not once.
you said that.
is that ALL you can come up with?
Last year, I announced I was entering the draft and since no one took me I am an unrestricted free agent.:)
How fast can you run a 40? Can you throw a football? The Saints might be interested..
