STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant tells ESPN he plans to enter the 2010 NFL draft.
Bryant disclosed his intentions late Thursday, hours after the NCAA rejected a final appeal by the school to reinstate the junior All-American.
Bryant sat out the first five games while the NCAA investigated his offseason meeting with former NFL player Deion Sanders at a Texas athletic center. Bryant admitted that he lied to an NCAA investigator about the meeting and apologized.
Bryant tells ESPN that entering the draft is "the best decision for me." He says he will start training for the NFL combine next week in Florida.
