TCU News: “I feel it’s good we’re being tested like this.”

Football:

Blacklock is going to go pro... but, the fact that’s he’s hesitating is giving us hope.

Blacklock likely won’t make his decision until the semester concludes and he receives feedback from the NFL’s College Advisory Committee.

The committee provides a draft grade for underclassmen prospects such as Blacklock, informing them whether scouts view them as a potential first round, potential second round or “neither.”

“Neither” is effectively a recommendation to stay in school, as the NFL feels a player’s best chance for success is usually staying in school, earning an education and improving his draft stock by completing his college football eligibility.
