06:59 PM ET 01.04 | LSU Tigers safety Eric Reid has become the latest member of the Tigers defense to declare for the 2013 NFL Draft. "I've been very fortunate and blessed to have been able to play football at LSU," Reid said."It was always my dream to go to LSU and play football. I want to thank Coach Miles and all of the people that played a role to get me to this point in my life. This was a very difficult decision because I always wanted to be a Tiger and I love LSU. But, after careful consideration and talking with my family, I feel like this is the right time to make this decision. I will always be a LSU Tiger." Reid was voted a first-team All-American in 2012. He was third on the team in tackles with 81.

Three juniors from MSUn have announced their intentions to enter the NFL draft. Not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, the traditionalist in me wants to see these young men stay four years and earn their degree. The realist in me recognizes that a free-market exists for those with the talent coveted by the NFL. i hope all those leaving school early get sound financial advice.

MSUn

Just don't. MSU = Michigan State Univeristy. Plain and simple.

The southern Mississippi school has been and will be referred to as "Mississippi State." Short hand is "Miss State." An obscure, subtle reference is "Misty."
