It appears the reports about Texas junior defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway leaving school are true, according to sources. Ridgeway will skip his senior season at Texas and enter the NFL Draft.
Ridgeway could have been one of the cornerstone's on Texas' defense next season, but he has decided to pursue an NFL career. From what I have been told, people within the building tried to discourage Ridgeway from leaving, and told him his draft stock could improve with one more season. However, Ridgeway will attempt to follow in former defensive tackle Malcom Brown's footsteps and enter the draft as a junior.
