COLLEGE STATION – Offensive lineman German Ifedi, as expected, has chosen to bypass his senior season at Texas A&M and declare for the NFL draft.
“The Lord has blessed me with a great opportunity and I am excited for this next chapter in my life,” Ifedi posted on his Twitter page.
Ifedi, a Westside High graduate who redshirted his first season at A&M, nearly declared for the draft a year ago before returning for his junior season. His exit means the Aggies are losing three starters from an offensive line that struggled for much of A&M’s 8-5 season that wrapped up on Wednesday with a 27-21 loss to Louisville in the Music City Bowl.
