During the postgame press conference after the UConn Huskies 48-20 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, running back Jordan Todman announced his intentions to skip his senior season and declare for the 2011 NFL Draft.
“My reasons are personal, but I feel it’s the right time for me. It’s pretty much my dream come true.”
Todman had 121 yards on 32 carries in the loss. He finishes the 2010 season with 1,695 yards and 14 touchdowns.
He ends his UConn career as the number two all-time rusher with 3,179 yards, trailing just Donald Brown’s 3,800. He finishes third in career rushing touchdowns with 31 and second in carries with 616.
While it’s still early in the process especially since Todman just delcared, there hasn’t been much speculation as to where he might get drafted. But I’d have to think since he’s coming out that he could be a late first round pick or early second round. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have made much sense for him to come out.
