USC's Gilmore & Jeffery Declare for the NFL Draft

Two prominent USC underclassmen will be taking their talents to the next level of football as both Stephon Gilmore and Alshon Jeffery officially announced their intentions to leave school early and make themselves available for the 2012 NFL Draft in April. Per TheBigSpur, both players will not hire an agent until January 15th when college underclassmen must make a firm decision to stay or go pro. Jeffery is the second best wide receiver in the draft behind Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon while Gilmore has been projected as anywhere from a first rounder or a middle round selection.

Good luck to both players and thanks for their contributions to the South Carolina football program!

Go Gamecocks!
