AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Vince Young is headed to the NFL.
The quarterback who lead Texas to its first national championship in 36 years has decided to make himself eligible for the NFL draft, an official within the athletic department told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement hasn't been made.
Poll
The Dallas Morning News first reported Young's decision Sunday morning.
Young, who led the Longhorns to a 41-38 Rose Bowl win over top-ranked Southern California on Wednesday, could have returned to Texas for his senior season and would have been a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
The versatile quarterback accounted for 467 yards against USC - 200 running and 267 passing - and ran 8 yards for the winning touchdown with 19 seconds left.
Young ends his career at Texas with a 30-2 record - the best in school history.
His stellar performance in the Rose Bowl increased speculation that he would leave school early and also started a debate about whether he would be the No. 1 pick in April's draft.
Young is Texas' all-time leader in total offense (9,167 yards), career touchdowns (81) and career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (37).
This season, Young became the only player in NCAA history to pass for 3,000 yards (3,036) and rush for 1,000 (1,050) in one season. His 4,086 total yards set a school single-season record.
Young won the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's best quarterback and the Maxwell Award for the top college football player, but came in second behind USC running back Reggie Bush in the Heisman voting.

My prediction is that he goes to Tenesse to learn behind his Mentor, which would be ideal situation for him.

ohio state loses 9 starters on D, they will have their hands full in Austin regardless of who UT plays at QB.

He will sit and learmn from McNair, also a friend of his. So, Bush, Leinart, Young- so we are really # 15 as we were not going with any of these guys anyway......We should be able to get a starter.

I think Vince will prob. end up in either N.O. or Tennessee, he'll be the successor to Steve McNair. Another reason for me saying this is people forgot that New Orleans has Adrien McPherson (kid out of Florida State) and he's tremendously talented.
