Watt. According to a source, the fourth-year junior has decided to skip his final season of eligibility and enter the 2011 National Football League draft. The standout from Racine Park High School was scheduled to discuss his options with the UW coaches Friday. It is possible the UW staff could attempt to convince Clay that he could improve his draft stock by returning in 2011 and going through a full season without suffering any injuries. However, Clay turned 23 on Tuesday and told the Journal Sentinel before the season that his age would be a factor in his eventual decision. In addition, he noted that running backs generally do not have long professional careers. Clay was the Big Ten Conference offensive player of the year in 2009 when he rushed for 1,517 yards and 18 touchdowns. He wasn’t in top physical condition at the beginning of the 2010 season after undergoing off-season surgery on both ankles and later missed 2 ½ games because of a knee injury. - Jeff Potrykus, The Journal Sentinel
Clay is our #10 junior RB. Since many of you know him so well from watching our beloved Badgers, I will simply offer that his stock at present would allow him to be a 4th round prospect at best. At 6-1, 248 and 4.67e speed, he could also move to FB in the pros. His ankle and knee injuries will be causes for concern with many teams, however.
