Won’t be bowling

-

There are now 10 college football players who have decided not to play in their bowl games, instead choosing to prepare for the NFL Draft.

Minnesota offensive tackle Donnell Greene is the latest to make the announceme­nt that he’s not playing in his team’s bowl game. Greene said he already has hired an agent, so that ends his NCAA eligibilit­y.

Other players who have decided not to play in their bowl games are North Carolina State wide receiver Kelvin Harmon, Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry, South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel, Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver, Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary, LSU cornerback Greedy Williams, Iowa tight end Noah Fant, North Carolina State linebacker Germaine Pratt and Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill.

As recently as a couple of years ago, Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette sat out their bowl games and have had successful NFL careers since.
