Three more juniors declare

Three more juniors declare … While the NFL was deciding its conference finalists, three more juniors declared their intention to enter the 2018 draft including Marshall QB Chase Litton, Western Kentucky OLB Joel Iyiegbuniwe and Purdue DT Eddy Wilson. Litton is 6-6, 232-pound picket passer who could figure something of a sleeper at the upcoming draft; Litton threw for over 3,000 yards and 25 TDs this past season when he completed 60% of his pass attempts with 14 picks. WKU’s Iyiegbuniwe is an emerging tackling machine who had 117 tackles this past season when he was named to the CUSA first team all-conference squad; he goes 6-1, 230. Meanwhile, the Boilermakers’ Wilson is a 6-3, 295-pound run stuffer who figures to be a late rounder or free agent prospect. On the other hand, Washington junior RB Myles Gaskin has announced he will be heading back to school next fall.
