BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU junior safety Chad Jones has decided to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the 2010 NFL Draft.
Jones, who is also a star pitcher for the Tigers' baseball team, announced his decision by e-mail.
"I know another season at LSU would be fun and successful, and that I could accomplish more on the field with the Tigers," Jones said in the e-mail. "But this opportunity with the NFL is impossible for me to pass."
Among those who will compete for Chad Jones' spot: safety prospect Craig Loston and sophomore Ron Brooks.
"My heart will always be at LSU, especially with my coaches and teammates who played an instrumental role in my college football and baseball experiences," Jones said.
