It was the worst kept secret in all of college football, but tonight Georgia Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt made it official.
On his radio show Monday night, Richt announced junior running back Todd Gurley will be entering the 2015 NFL Draft.

Gurley was a Heisman Trophy candidate and considered a high first-round pick until he tore his ACL in his left knee against Auburn on Nov. 15. It was his first game back after returning from a four-game suspension due to an NCAA rules violation.
Despite the significant knee injury late in the season, Richt doesn’t believe Gurley’s draft stock will be affected.
