Louisville safety Gerod Holliman has taken college football by storm this season as he leads the nation in interceptions with a whopping 14.
This ties the all-time NCAA record. Holliman is a redshirt sophomore, but he has decided to enter the 2015 NFL Draft.
Holliman has been considered by some experts to be a poor tackler despite his high amount of interceptions, but the 2015 safety draft class is expected to be weaker than 2014, which produced four safeties in the first round.
Bleacher Report NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller was the first to be informed of this news, and he tweeted out Holliman’s announcement.
