Mississippi State's Bob declares for draft

JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi State junior defensive back Demario Bobo declared for the NFL draft earlier this month, unbeknownst to school officials.

Bobo and two other players — linebacker Anthony Littlejohn and cornerback Keon Humprhies — who would have been fifth-year seniors left the team amicably last week when coach Sylvester Croom told them they would not make the 70-man travel roster next season.

The deadline for juniors to declare for the draft was Jan. 15.

Bobo played in 12 games, starting two last season. He finished with 35 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Bobo is among 53 juniors who have entered the upcoming April 26-27 draft.
