It’s been somewhat expected that Randall Cobb would take his leave of Kentucky following the conclusion of the 2010 season.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, that is indeed the case.
The all-everything junior announced Thursday afternoon that he’s giving up his senior season of eligibility to enter the 2011 NFL draft.
In 2010, Cobb, who contributed as a wide receiver, quarterback, punt returner, kickoff returner and kick holder during his time in Lexington, broke the SEC single-season record for all-purpose yardage with 2,396 yards. For his efforts, Cobb was named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press as an all-purpose player.
Cobb has been projected as high as a late second-round pick in the April draft.
