Kevin Minter of LSU Tigers to enter NFL draft - ESPN: "The 6-foot-2, 244-pound Minter is the third-rated linebacker by ESPN's Scouts Inc. and the No. 33-ranked player overall.
"It was a very difficult (decision)," Minter told ESPN Radio 104.5 FM in Baton Rouge. "I love LSU. There's a reason why I came to wear the purple and gold. I love the atmosphere there. I love the coaches. It's hard leaving all that, but it's something I had to do for me and my family."
Minter likely will not be the only Tigers defender to leave for the NFL. A source told ESPN that defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery and safety Eric Reid also are likely to enter April's draft, with defensive tackle Bennie Logan still considering it.
A Butkus Award finalist, Minter recorded 130 tackles and four sacks this season. He said that he decided to forego his senior season after discussing his options Wednesday with his family."
