WASHINGTON -- Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft.Smith made the announcement Wednesday after the Terrapins' 51-20 defeat of East Carolina in the Military Bowl at RFK Stadium. He said he came to the decision Tuesday as Maryland prepared for its final game under coach Ralph Friedgen.
"It makes it a whole lot easier when you have the people you respect the most supporting your decision," Smith said. "It was definitely a tough decision, but it was one coach Friedgen was comfortable with, (wide receivers) coach (Lee) Hull, (director of character education) Kevin Glover. It just made me feel better about it."
Smith, who graduated this month, finished the season with 67 receptions for 1,055 yards and 12 touchdowns. In his the regular-season finale, he had 224 yards and a school-record four touchdown receptions in a 38-31 defeat of N.C. State.
