Chasing Sonny Collins’ all-time rushing record, Snell could stay at UK for another year or depart for the NFL Draft after piling up 207 more rushing yards. If that happens in the UofL game, he could follow the lead of other high-profile players who have abstained from bowl games to preserve their health before the NFL Draft.
Snell has planned two meetings with his family to discuss his future, one after Saturday’s game and one after the bowl game. At this point, he has not even entertained the thought of skipping the bowl game.
“I haven’t thought about it like that,” he said.
