Stanley ‘Boom’ Williams is entering the NFL Draft.

The junior running back announced his decision following the Kentucky Wildcats’ loss in the TaxSlayer Bowl to Georgia Tech. The decision comes as no surprise as Boom was viewed as a heavy lean towards entering the draft this year.

Williams revealed the decision to reporters after his Wildcats lost 33-18 in their first bowl game in six years.

“Me and (Mark) Stoops met earlier this week, and then I talked with my family,” Williams said. My family and I talked last night and came to the final decision.
