Ingram to declare for draft

Florida junior tight end Cornelius Ingram, a former top-rated high school quarterback/basketball recruit, has decided to forgo his senior year with the Gators and enter the 2008 NFL draft.

Ingram finished fourth on the team with 34 receptions for 508 yards and seven touchdowns. He averaged 15 yards per catch and showed flashes of rare athleticism and pass-catching skills for his position. At 6-foot-4, 235 pounds he has been timed at faster than 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash and has the ability to line up in a number of positions on the field; receiver, H-back, slot and tight end.

"It was just my time," Ingram said. "My years with the Gators have been great. We won a championship, played some great games, and it has allowed me this chance now of reaching my goal of playing in the NFL."

Ingram asked the NFL advisory committee for his current draft grade before the Gators' Capital One Bowl loss to Michigan. He said that although he has not yet heard back, he expects to be a high draft pick and is hoping to run in the 4.4s for scouts.
