Missouri All-American TE Chase Coffman will undergo surgery next week on his injured left foot. Doctors will install a screw Tuesday into the fifth metatarsal bone to help the injury heal; Coffman hurt his foot on the final play of overtime in the Tigers' 30-23 Alamo Bowl victory over Northwestern earlier this week. Coffman is expected to be well enough to participate in the NFL combine in February and Missouri's pro days in March.
Virginia Tech junior FS Kam Chancellor announced after the Hokies’ 20-7 win over Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl earlier this week that he will not be entering the 2009 draft. The 6-2, 224-pound Chancellor, who likely projects to SS or even LB at the next level, had a strong bowl game in which he had an interception, bu otherwise had an inconsistent campaign this fall. Underclassmen have until January 15th to apply to the NFL for early entry to the upcoming draft.
Arizona junior OT Eben Britton has announced he will be forgoing his senior season and entering the upcoming NFL draft. Britton is projected to be a possible late first or early second round pick at the 2009 draft.
Uconn junior RB Donald Brown has changed course and has announced that he will in fact be entering the 2009 NFL draft. Brown had said back in December that he would be returning for his senior season, however, changed his mind after rushing for a career-best 261 yards in yesterday’s win over Buffalo in the International Bowl. In the process, Brown became just the 14th player in major college history to run for 2,000 yards in a season.
