In their press release confirming reports that Caleb King would be academically ineligible for the 2011 season, Georgia noted that the running back “indicated he will consider the options available to him before making a decision on his future plans.”
Apparently, one of those options is not transferring to another school to continue his collegiate football career.
According to Seth Emerson of the Macon Telegraph, and citing a source close to the player, King has decided to enter the NFL’s supplemental draft. Emerson writes that an official announcement of King’s decision could be coming soon.
King, who would’ve been a senior this season, would join former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the supplemental draft, the date of which has yet to be determined by the NFL.
King finished second on the Bulldogs in rushing in each of the past three seasons, but, even without the academic hiccup, would’ve been looking at playing second fiddle — like he did with Knowshon Moreno in 2008 and Washaun Ealey the next two years — to touted five-star 2011 recruit Isaiah Crowell.
In 2007, King was a four-star member of UGA’s recruiting class out of Norcross, Ga., and the No. 8 RB in the country that year.
