Texas senior defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham announced Saturday that he will sit out the team’s bowl game and enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
Graham joins defensive back Caden Sterns, safety Chris Brown and offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi as Longhorns players to officially announce their intention to declare for the draft.
“With the regular season officially over, I feel it’s time to say my goodbyes and start to prepare for the Senior Bowl and the NFL combine as the next steps in fulfilling my dream of playing in the NFL,” Graham wrote Saturday on Twitter.
Graham, who is listed at 6-foot-4, 294 pounds, recorded 23 tackles and two sacks with the No. 20 Longhorns (6-3, 5-3 Big 12) this season. He had 72 tackles and seven sacks in 48 career games with Texas.
