Tunsil declares for draft too

Daily Journal

OXFORD – Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, like wide receiver Laquon Treadwell earlier this afternoon, has declared for the NFL draft.

The moves were widely anticipated for both players. Both are projected early first-round picks when the draft takes places late next April in Chicago.

Tunsil has been projected by some as the No. 1 pick overall. The draft order was finalized Sunday, and the Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 pick.

Tunsil, a Lake City, Fla., native, served a seven-game NCAA suspension this season, but his impact was dramatic upon return.
