Mark Stoops speaks on Lynn Bowden’s decision to enter 2020 NFL Draft

This afternoon, Kentucky superstar playmaker Lynn Bowden Jr. announced he would be entering his name in the 2020 NFL Draft this spring, ending his record-breaking three-year career in Lexington.

But first, he’s planning on playing in Kentucky’s final game of the 2019 season: the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, NC on New Year’s Eve.

“I plan on entering my name in the 2020 NFL Draft,” Bowden said in a video posted on his social media pages. “This is a moment I’ve dreamed of for a long time. I want to thank my family, Coach Stoops, Coach Marrow, Coach Gran, Coach Hinshaw, Coach Smith and all my coaches and teammates for getting me to this point.
