On Saturday afternoon, Boom Williams announced he would be entering the NFL Draft following Kentucky’s 33-18 loss in the TaxSlayer Bowl.
We all knew there was a chance, a good one at that, but it was certainly a punch in the gut for fans knowing they wouldn’t be able to yell “BOOOOOOM” on Saturday’s or witness the antics of Boom Sr. at every CatWalk. He was one of the most highly touted signees in Kentucky recruiting history and certainly lived up to the hype in his three-year career.
Every college career must come to a close eventually, for some sooner rather than later.
