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.

LOL
unfortunately your making fun of Mel Kiper's hair probably didn't do you a lot of good :)
COME ONE hotshot
Mike has never claimed to be in Iraq as a military member. He was there as a contractor. We sent him items and got photos and an email back from his military guys and gals over there. Although, I think I personally only heard back from a few of his guys.
This drama happens all the time. Mike was in Iraq and helped make the lives of our Troops a whole lot easier. I don't see too many Americans jumping up to do either one.
As for you RVN, thank you for your service to America. We wouldn't be here without your sacrifices in the past.
Add me to your College Football Ping List please. Thanks Mike! *HUGS* to you and your beautiful wife!!
Bumping.
LOL
ok
Thanks for the backup.
I kinda figured I wouldn't get 2 weeks without it being questioned again....
There's something about that personality of yours that just draws such attention. LOL! Put the sparklers down and maybe that will help you. LOL!
At least I can laugh, My Bengals just lost. Poor Carson. Poor Poor Carson.
Thanks for helping our troops out.
yeah that hit was nasty....
Well, at least I can look forward to 95 more days until Spring Ball at Ohio STate. WooHoo!! Nope! Not excited or anticipating anything. LOL!
Texans for Bush !! More Bush !....What were we talking about again ?;O)
yeh....
with VY going pro, that game in Austin takes on an entirely new dimension....
Yep! My hubby might actually get to eat that weekend. If it wasn't for VY going Pro, it could've been a long week at MoJo's house. LOL!!
Oh, it's been going fine! Just doing lots of post-holiday closet-cleaning and rat-killing.
"Notice that my alma mater is tied for #6 :-)"
I almost went there for grad school. UT gave me a better deal, and now I'm happy I chose Texas. I'm friends with a couple Georgia Tech profs, though.
yeah I'm afriad you're right.
I wasn't to confident that OSU's defense without Aj Hawk, Schlegel and Carpenter could have stopped Young.
I've got an etiquette question for you.....
should I embarrass this RVN guy with the FReepmails he has sent me or should I just keep that to myself?
Um, I wouldn't share any FReepmails unless he continues to go there about whether or not you were in Iraq. It's up to you, but that would be my suggestion.
I think it's pretty much settled for now, but you know how they love to come back for seconds sometimes. Hehe!
Young is a superb passer. He's much better than Vick, even with the unconventional throwing motion, but I think that may scare a few teams away.
