Crabtree to enter NFL draft

LUBBOCK, Texas, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree announced Tuesday he would skip his final two years of eligibility and enter this year's NFL draft.

Crabtree won this season's Biletnikoff Award, which goes to the nation's top receiver.

In two years with the Red Raiders, he produced 3,127 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns. His career highlight came this season when he caught a scoring pass with a second to play that gave Texas Tech a victory over then-No. 1 Texas.

Elsewhere Tuesday, those announcing their intention to enter the NFL draft were Ball State quarterback Nate Davis, Boise State receiver Jeremy Childs and Penn State defensive end Aaron Maybin.

Davis, who had one year of eligibility remaining, completed 258 passes for 3,591 yards and 26 touchdowns this season. He was named the Mid-American Conference offensive player of the year.
